Politics and Beliefs

" @castleking: Alright good....because everything you just said was so ridiculous I was having a hard time believing anyone would say that lol "

" i only listen and vote for politicians whose personal life i am aware of or my church tells me about them or is part of my religion.
 
i know politicians all have good or bad  reasons for getting into politics and agendas. their message, reason and platforms as important is it is, is not more important then saving ppl's souls and making sure that the fabric of our country is a good christian based nation with good morals.
 
if he or she isnt married by the time she/he is old enough to run for office, i think that says something about the person and i dont want someone like that in a position of power and change. i think having a family is a measure of a person.
 
the politician who is pro life is another reason i would vote for them. no one but my God has the right to take life and is able to decrease or prolong a person's life.
 
so long that the person shares my beliefs i would vote for them otherwise ur just serving the Devil and ur an atheist.  :) "

I never knew you were a Republican ?

:P 

the problem with some folks is they never been to a Fun Church... you should come down to my old stomping grounds... First Baptist Church of Progress Village... when I was younger we used to do some crazy sh!t in that building... folks would be jumping around and hollering as the Choir Plays music... it was almost like a Fu#ked Up Rock Concert... who gives a sh!t about what the Pastor's Message was... I just wanna run around the got damn Church a few times just to get the feeling of the Spirit... the Spirit of Funk and Power  !

:P 

" that what churches were originally meant to be to feel god's spirit... joy, praise, happiness....... now its like you walk in with your head lowered in shame put a few dollars in the donation box and take your seat. once you sit down they start with long winded stories from the bible in a mono tone voice...*snore *
 
churches were meant to bring communities together and enjoy each others company be reminded of gods message of love and compassion and doing the right thing and the consequences of the wrong choice..
 
churches need to use modern music instead of old hymes, and chants and prayers... its nice to know and study them but those were for an older culture... play some Creed, Kanye west  pass the lyrics and dance and enjoy each others company... "

 i am tired of politicians exploiting their religion to gain votes......

and I don't trust politicians that mention religion. I'm voting for what they can do for the American public, not what they can do for their god. "

To me politics and faith should be as faraway as possible.

exactly "

" I have nothing against religious people being politicians or even President. My request is that they keep their subjective beliefs out of office. You may feel that "your" God is the highest power in existence, but to atheist, your God doesn't even exist. You do not, factually, have any right to subject someone to a law based on the beliefs you chose to hold regarding a potentially fictional being.  Pro-life is bullshit and anyone who claims to be pro-life is a hypocrite. "

I like how Pro-Life people like to make it a false dichotomy. Either you forbid abortion, or you are some sick perv with no morals who approves of it and gets sadistic joy from the fact it happens.

" @FLCL1: To me, no one is dumber than Obama. At least Palin has been a success at her jobs. Obama is on pace to be the worst president in decades! "

let us not go to this thread...it is a silly place

" I don't trust anyone. "

" @NagolNuff: I wish Obama would read off his hand if it would help him make an intelligent decision so he stops screwing up the whole country. "

" @FLCL1: But what makes it stupid? If she hadn't brought anything out and forgot what she wanted to talk about, then ya she would look stupid. But writing it on your hand, what's the big deal? Haven't you ever jotted anything on your hand for quick reference. The only reason people are making a big deal over it is because its Sarah Palin. "

" @FLCL1: To me, no one is dumber than Obama. At least Palin has been a success at her jobs. Obama is on pace to be the worst president in decades! "

Palin considers Canada and Mexico foreign experience.
 
I've been to more countries than her.

" @King Saturn: Maybe u haven't been following what's been happening in the past year or so. The only joke has been Obama. "

say what ? you think Obama is just gonna fix everything Bush and his Squad has had 8 years to mess up in a matter of months ? come on man... Get Real

its gonna take time to fix all of this sh!t...

funny right? how ppl think you can just give an order to undo sh@# without thinking of the logistics and bureaucrats.... 
 
i feel like slapping ppl who argue crap i am still out of work he hasnt helped me at all.... well no sh@# it isnt like he can just pass a law and get everyone employed....

every time some one b@#E$@ i wanna know what specifically he has screwed up or failed to some how fix and ask  them how can he fix it.

I agree there is no magic wand he can wave to fix the economy, bring the troops home, and whatever else he's supposed to do. But the problem is the expectations heaped onto the man by his own people. When you're heralded as the next great thing, you're going to be a let down. That is until your out of office for say twenty years so the rose colored glasses can be taken off or the scrutiny is lessend and the historians will judge how good or bad of a president you are.
 
May biggest problem with the president is the fact he came in wanting to do way to much. Not to mention my personal feeling for the directions it seems he wants to take the country, but that not here nor there. I think he stretched himself far to thin and that's why he hasn't been able to get done much of anything. Also I am kinda tired of hearing how he was handed a mess, after a year it becomes yours regardless of how bad it was when you got it.
