Fun is exactly what it's proven to be too. VOTE FOR OBAMA, AND HASTEN THE RETURN OF THE LORD is where it started 'cause of some posts about him elected would be the end of life as we know it, and the sky would fall, yada, yada.

Understood, Bro. I enjoy pulling chains and pushing buttons as well.

Just curious, would you vote for McCain if he chose a running mate much more palatable to your tastes? I will admit that his choice of running mate could very well influence my vote. You can take this to a private message if you like since this is a bit off topic.

God bless, Bro.

Brother, let me put it this way. I voted for Bush both times around. I feel that his true colors have shone through in his second term. I feel as if we were lied to about Iraq, and it's time for our troops to come home. I also have come to believe that President Bush has done more to take away American's freedoms than any other President in our history. The last thing I want is another four, possibly eight, years with another Republican in office. They've done nothing to stem the tide of homosexual rights or any of the other moral issues Christians typically vote for Republicans because of. While I know McCain isn't exactly like Bush, his positions on issues like the war are too much like Bush's for me to support him. I also believe that McCain is simply too old to handle the kind of stress the Presidency puts on a man. His time for having won the office is long past, and I can not believe he's the best the Republicans could come up with this go around.

Homosexuality is a sexual dysfunction plain and simple. There are genetic traits however in folks that you just look at them interact with them and you have to ask, was this a product of being raised by a woman never having known a father in the home, sexual abuse, etc.

You would never say that necropheilia or beastiality or pedophillia were genetically ordered. They are sexual dysfunctions.

I believe pornography on the net is the leading cause for homosexuality to run like wildfire, but then again I am only agreeing with the Charasmatic preacher I heard this from.

Root cause of all sinful lifestyles:

Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Rom 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
Rom 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
Rom 1:19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
Rom 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Rom 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Rom 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Rom 1:23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Rom 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Rom 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
Rom 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
Rom 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
Rom 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Rom 1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Rom 1:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Rom 1:31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Rom 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Everyone has a choice, but not everyone seems to realize that or makes the correct ones.

Do you feel the accomplishments listed on the following issues are bad?

1. Winning the War on Terror - ( http://www.whitehouse.gov/infocus/ac...ent/chap1.html )

2. Promoting Peace and Democracy - and Acts of Mercy - ( http://www.whitehouse.gov/infocus/ac...ent/chap3.html )

3. Economic Growth and Job Creation - ( http://www.whitehouse.gov/infocus/ac...ent/chap5.html )

I'd wager that if these accomplishments would have taken place under a Democrat presidency the president would have been lauded as one of the greatest men to ever have held the position.

I agree with you that Bush should have been more conservative on some of his social issues, but let's not throw out the Bush baby with the bath water. If another eight years of accomplishments like the aforementioned is all we have to look forward to by not voting, as you said, "Probama" then I'd say we'll, generally, be heading in the right direction. (pun absolutely intended )

God bless, Bro.
