I Don't Mean To Go Off On A Rant Here...

Christians who would refuse to endorse Mitt Romney solely on the fact he's a Mormon really are starting to chap my behind.

I am not ready to throw my support toward Mitt Romney or any other candidate as of yet, but if I choose not to support Mitt Romney, it won't be because he's not a Christian. Just because someone is a Christian does not automatically qualify them as the best choice for President, as James Dobson would have us believe. And his idea of not voting because he doesn't like either candidate is just wrong - if you don't cast your vote, you have no reason to complain about the president, ok Jimmy?

Another thing irritating my backside are Christians who want to pretend that the environment doesn't matter. Now mind you, this isn't an arguement for global warming. I'm far too ignorant of the facts, but only loaded with opinions from either side.

It seems to me that most Christians would just as soon rape the earth of it's resources because we can than try and save them. C'mon folks, we've been given the job of being stewards. This plant is not our whore to take what we want. No one can argue that our water is getting dirtier and our air is getting more polluted. But we continue to take, take, take. A friend of mine told me the other day that the answer to our dependance on foreign oil was to drill in Alaska...what?! The answer to our dependance on foreign oil to to not be dependant on oil at all!

With all the technology we have, it would not take a whole lot to produce more cars that run on corn oil, or you just plug in for the night...or even the one from 'Back To The Future' that ran on garbage. If we can find someone lost in the wilderness with a GPS, we can surely produce a car that doesn't run on gas.

How about it, science?

I agree-I'd rather a Mormon then a Muslim, current or former.

jim you are a man that speaks ot my own heart.

I believe that my faith and my political beliefs are intertwined but I will NOT rule out a candidate on their spiritual beliefs alone.

There have been fare too many "Christian" presidents that have raped and pillaged our lives while paying lip service to our faith. I am far more likely to vote for someone who has my same value system than one who share my same "religion"

And kudos on your environmental stance. We are stewards of the land. If we let it go to waste, ow can we stand if front of God at the judgment and tell him we were good and faithful servants?
