All Yall are going to hell. Vote for Dave btw....

Unfortunately in this country politics are inexorably intertwined with religion. The paradox is that by constitutional law, they shouldn't be. Don't Swayze Bro, I wholeheartedly disagree. There is a difference between basic human morality, and religion. Religion has been responsible for some pretty horrific things. Saying that the church is responsible for those things is a lot like saying that art school that kicked Hitler out was responsible for the holocaust. We're talking about multiple causes here, and personally I think something else would have filled in if not for religious pressure in those cases. Let them pick a side....

CLC, I almost choke on "they don't call Brother Jebediah"... hahahah Yes, they can support a candidate, and talk about him as well, but what they usually do is say "this is the guy. vote him. he's the god's choice" I heard it more than once....

I want to say that if we allow this kind of thing the next thing we kow the Church of Scientology will be endorsing Tom Cruise for president as the rencarnation of Xenu. Seriously though I think that It shouldn't matter that a precher tells his congragation who is the right candidate. A religious leader is also looked on a social leader in his or her community. This means that it is there responsiblility to take a social role in the election process. I agree with Don't Swayze bro when he points out that much of what American underdogs have...

Yes they should be allowed to. No one is holding guns to their heads making them vote. If you attend a church where you feel you are being swayed one way or the other or flat out told to vote a certain way and you continue to go to that church, then you deserve to be led. I for one will walk out of my church never to return if i hear my pastor tell me who I should vote for. I encourage every one to collect every piece of information they can and make your own choices. I heard...

Religion, Politics, Between the two of them, responsible for 90% of the wars in the history of the world. When election day comes can we vote for none of the above? yeesh....

Where are all the "recovering Catholics" going to be located?...

Unfortunately, I cannot respond to this post without sounding racist, but here it is. THIS IS NOTHING NEW. I grew up in the south, where black ministers sometimes even own their churches. I knew one who owned 3 and hired two other ministers to preach... but that's beside the point. Some churches not only endorse political candidates, but they arrange transportation to the polls for their members to vote for those particular people. They go over the list of candidates from the pulpit, sometimes even handing out sample ballots, to ensure that their followers have a clear view of the...

I feel you could substitute Mike and Ikes, chewy, fruity and free of licorice....
