 - Jon Searles (2,108)   
Jon Searles  
Never vote for a religious candidate when a moral candidate is available. Pat Robertson, Oral Roberts, Jimmy Swaggart, Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson, and Martin Luther King Jr. are all religious men who I would not vote for in any election. I am sure there are a list of Muslim, Mormon, and other... ( added 1 year 132 days ago.) |

So Sunday, I'm at church like I am every Sunday morning that I am in town. I love my time to worship OK and I believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ.

Missing Link (766)
Missing Link

Religion and Politics - The Majority Rules -
Mark Parsec (15,056)    
Mark Parsec 
The question has been posed as to whether or not religion and moral views "should" be handled politically. However, before we can discuss what should be it would only be proper to discuss "what is" to establish a realistic context in which this subject may be approached. Why is every session of...

Politics and Religion - Who Can Tell Us What We Can and Cannot Do? -
Ben Morrish (7,936)   
Ben Morrish
Should religion and moral views be handled politically?
The question itself is a little ambiguous – obviously the state ("politics") cannot make you hold a certain view and cannot make you believe in a particular religion – such personal matters simply cannot be handled politically.

Abigail Richards (10,363)

Asher Ricard (14,077) 
Asher Ricard
The latest email craze among Christians is news that the new
Presidential new dollar coins do not have the phrase “In God We Trust" on them.

Regaining the Faith of our Forefathers -
- Jay Hopson (911)  
Jay Hopson
Would the
United States today, be such a world power if our forefathers had not been men of faith and Christian values? With such tirades as we now hear from the

our past. The truth can still set us free.

Should Morality, In Church And Government Mix -
Susan Thom (12,047) 
Susan Thom
The Thesaurus tells us that Government means power, and equity. Now, how can that even be true? If someone has power over you, there is no equity involved. To explain moral views, the thesaurus mentions humane, respectable, decent, proper, ethical, honest, exemplary, (flawless, ideal... ( added 1 year 115 days ago.) |
Should Politics Interfere With Religion? -
- Joel Hendon (16,285)

Should We Remain One Nation Under God? -
- Jay Hopson (911)
Jay Hopson
The moral fabric of our nation is constantly being bombarded
with half truths and the rewriting of history by those who belong to a religion

the loudest, so they tend to be heard more than the gentle voices of... ( added 1 year 117 days ago.) |
Religiosity, Morality and Politics -
- Avis Ward (11,455) 
Avis Ward
The list of political activists runs like a river through the course of Christian history. When reading the title of the debate, I was reminded of a discussion with a sibling, whether Jesus was political. She said yes, I said no.

Religion and Politics Don't Mix - Just ask Henry the 8th! -
- Leah (12,697) 
Leah
Religion and Politics do not mix for the simple reason that it can get in the way of what people want and if the state is listening to what people want and legislating accordingly then clearly religion is something that in these modern times has no place in Politics.

Separation of Church and State: The Freedom To Believe -
- The Cultural Economist (7)
The Constitution was intended to be an inclusive document. We were a loose collection of colonies struggling to establish a national unity while retaining a local identity.

Debate: Should Religion and Moral Views Be Handled Politically? -
Jim Gordon (135) 
Jim Gordon
The answer to this question is a resounding "Yes!"
Although our knee-jerk reaction is to quickly answer in the
negative, thoughtful consideration must make the careful observer answer, of
course, "Yes!" Religion and moral views must be handled politically! For most of us, almost immediately... ( added 1 year 125 days ago.) |

- David Tanguay (9,577) 
David Tanguay
Although I was born and raised catholic, today I do not attend church services. I do believe in God however, my stance on abortion and gay rights has nothing to do with the Bible and its teachings.

The Inseparable Nature of Religion, Morals and Politics -
Mark Parsec (15,056)
Mark Parsec
One may argue in vain for the seperation of religious and moral discussions from the political arena. Such a viewpoint, however, neglects the inseperable nature of religion, morals and politics; for each is intrinsically related to the question of what is right and wrong and how individuals...

John Sammon
Why is all this happening? Iraq? Hurricane Katrina and then Ike? Sarah Palin? And now the economy? Why? I think it's simple. It's God. God doesn't like America.

Sandra E. Graham (7,883) 
Sandra E. Graham
As we become more and more entrenched in the conflicts that certain laws create between religious groups and lawmakers, I can't help but wonder, if each group complains only when they stand to benefit personally from such disagreement.
