I am also a Christian and fail to see McCain or Palin as Christian choices at all. As a steward of the Earth, I can’t imagine the Republican party line as being acceptable, no matter what lip-service they pay to so-called family values. The fact of the matter is, to oppose abortion and support war is a contradiction. If un-born children matter as much as other people, why must young men die everyday in a place that does not want their assistance? Today’s war is a far cry from opposing Nazi-ism or even a twisted Communism like Russia’s was. It does not make sense, to me, that so many Christians fall in-line with ‘conservative’ politicians when they are not our spiritual leaders or, often, truly spiritual people.
I would vote for Barak Obama if he were Muslim because he is not going to be my spiritual leader… he is going to be my political leader and I think his policies will be better received by the world, even if only because his party is in opposition to the party that has caused so much trouble in the world and told so many lies.
