ok so people told me that all 3 of the presidential candidates are Christian but (not trying to offend anyone here) how can you be a Democrat and a Christian?? Democrats are for stem cell research (using developing babies for science!! thus killing them, etc.) and they are for abortion (basically murdering a baby) and they are ok with gay unions and marriages and such. i mean those things definitely go against God!! its right there in the Bible!! im NOT trying to offend im just truly puzzled by how they can support this when it is so clearly not the wish of God. thank you :) (link)
Honestly, religion and politics are completely different topics.

I'm a Christian democrat, and I support gay marriage 100%. Why? Because that is THEIR choice. If God decides to punish gay people for getting married, then whatever. I believe they should have a choice because MY religion should not impact OTHER people.

I support abortion, too. This doesn't mean that I like abortion. It means that women should be able to make that decision for themselves. Sure, most Christians might be against it, but it is not for the Christians to decide what every American should do.

Technically, divorce is against the bible, too. But Christians divorce all the time. Why can divorce be okay, but gay marriage cannot? They are BOTH against God, according to the bible.

Basically, what it boils down to is, yes, I'm a Christian, but I think other people should do whatever they want. Other people should not have to live according to my religious beliefs.

thank you so much that is like the best answer i got out of like 10 or something!! lol but ya thats what i didnt understand before but i now i get it. Just because your a Christian doesn't mean that everyone believes what you believe therefore people should be able to make their own choices and then have to deal, later, with their consequences. If they go to Hell because of it then it was their CHOICE. thanks so much :)
