If I'd have known this would have been put on here, I would written this longer and better

From 2 Samuel, 23:4;

"'He who rules over men must be just,
Ruling in the fear of God."

When a man allows God to be the pilot of his life, he is fit to rule over men better than any other. A man who does not believe in God, makes the vanity of himself his own God; trusting in the whims of his fleshy nature with no obligation to be honest. Where is his accountability?

Psalm 14 says;

"The fool has said in his heart,
"There is no God."
They are corrupt,
They have done abominable works,
There is none who does good."
(to be continued)

SDo you are saying there are no Atheistts, and that a true Relgious man who was a Politco wouldnt lie. Also you are saying it okay for the Prez to kill someone if he thinks it was what god would want.

*backs away slowly*

“Why is it that so-called "atheists" (of which don't really exist, btw...everyone knows deep-down that God is very real...they only try to convince themselves that he's not to escape accountability to him)”

Lets start with that statement. How arrogant. How intolerant. You might as well says “Jews are just Christians in denial” or “When will those Buddhists give in and admit it’s all sillyness”


“ have such a difficult time with a man of God becoming president? “

Pulls out History books….oh wait EVERY PRESIDENT has been a WHITE Christian MALE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


“Why so exclusionary? Why is it that a man of faith should be excluded from the oval office? After all, if you "don't believe" in God, then it really shouldn't matter if a president does...only what his beliefs will cause him to do.”
What his beliefs cause him to do, I thought a President was supposed to act on the interests of the people not his religion?



?Will the actions of a man of faith automatically go against what you would have him to do just for his belief in God alone?

“?An atheist can better hide his beliefs as he's only accountable to himself. He could make all of the promises in the world and not bat an eyelash upon breaking every single one of them - what does he care?”
So your excuse is a Relgious Man wont lie because he fears god, but an Atheist will because he fears no one. Do I have that right? Also how can an Atheist better hide his beliefs? That’s baseless.


?The commandment "Thou shalt not murder" is just that. It was never "Thou shalt not kill".
Whose Bible are we

"Psalm 14 says;

"The fool has said in his heart,
"There is no God."
They are corrupt,
They have done abominable works,
There is none who does good.""

I was under the impression that Christian theology accepted the good works of those who do not believe in your Lord, such as Gandhi and Confucius...even going so far as to offer many of them redemption in Purgatory. You're stating that literally no one who does not believe in your deity can do anything but spread abomination? Is that a categorical imperative you're really willing to stand behind?

More to the point, why would you want to worship a god who is so exclusionist? If God (and I use the capital 'G' here to denote the specific god depicted in Christian theology) is truly omniscient, should He not be able to discern the goodness inherent to these individuals? Shouldn't He be able to tell that their lack of faith is motivated by a differing paradigm, not evil? If God is truly a god, He should be able to understand that everyone isn't exposed to the teachings which are supposedly derived from his own tutelage.

What about the mentally retarded, who are unable to conceptualize the concept of a deity through no fault of their own? Christian theology states that the Judeo-Christian god shaped man in his image: if these retarded individuals were not intended to be in their current state by God, He is not omnipotent or omniscient. If you accept that he is omnipotent and omniscient, you must also accept that these individuals are retarded because it is God's will. These individuals cannot believe. Does i

So if McCain stepped up tomorrow and said "I've just never been a very religious man, I believe in Judo-Christian Values but I'm not going to let Religious Doctrine define my Presidency, thank you and good night"

Would that be so bad?

I assume their are a few non-religious people in Politics who use religion to appeal to the lowest common dominator, Look at Huckabee, I think McCain just sent him to run to take votes from Romney.

So we are admitting that alot of politicians use religion as a front...
Would be okay with an atheist president?

Yes, dear. It looks well on paper. Ask peole wht the1- commandments mean to them and rheir dt . Don't put otherd down when yiu have never veen put into thr positiion yourself. I dont't knoe of tha us commasndment 1-19 but it seems to a be soemthing you desperately need work on ,.
