Candidates and Religion

I'm intrigued that Dean is a congregationalist. That faith has a strong tradition in Georgia in particular. Many congregational churches (and Presbyterians, Episcopals and Methodists who are loosely associated to them) abound along the historic coast and in Atlanta. The Jewish influence should also play well in Atlanta and Savannah. A lot of Reformed Christians (Presby, Episcopal, Methodist, UCC, Lutheran, etc.) are getting turned off by the evangelical movement that GWB is so ga-ga over.

Interesting.
I'm part of the Reformed Faith myself and I can't stand W's fondness for the "happy clappy" wing of Christianity, although I didn't like him anyway!

Jmfcst,

I am not a Christian, so I would like you to clarify something for me.  If you accept homosexuals, are you a bad christian?  I would like to hear your answer.

I wouldn't say it makes one a "bad" Christian.  They've simply allowed themselves to be deceived.   Not to mention that they are contradicting their own faith....if their faith is not defined by the bible, then what defines it?  Did they invent their own religion?

Taking a purely logical point of view, contradicting one's own faith is contradicting one's self.

Do you really believe that the bible should be followed to the letter, every single word or point? Even those about different crops and stuff?

It can't be... translations differ a lot...

hyperconservative Methodist  

Yes... that is rather weird...

But not if Frist pushes the Nuke button and then all of them will be confirmed.

Then a confirmation will again be a MAJORITY vote and every nominee will get an up or down vote.

You what?

Robertson is the nutter that says that God is a Republican isn't he?
