Why was my Christianity in Question?

However for the few of you who may sincerely want to know, here are my thoughts:


I based my decision on the facts that were presented, economy and health care issues, while I hold true to my deep oposition to abortion, I do not feel my choice in voting compromises my Christian beliefs.

But many times, they are unwilling to listen. (Just like a few of you who are no doubt already working on your response). But what I think we fail to realize is this, POLITICS IS POLITICS. McCain wasn't going to make abortion illegal. He was going to overturn Roe Vs. Wade which would make it a state decision.

Insisting that someone could not POSSIBLY be Christian because of a voting choice is silly and judgemental. What you need to look at is the condition of your heart when you voted. I personally would question if a greater matter in this is judging. Also, God already knew who was going to win this election long before time for us began. You see, even though He preordained this man to power does not mean that Obama is or is not a good person, it is for His purpose. I am not by any way shape or form presuming to know the will of God, but just showing you how ANY man can be used for God's purpose, good or bad. Including Judas Iscariot and even Peter (who denied Christ 3 times).


Now, don't stone all at once.

In secular psychology we often see what people say and what they do are contradictory. You voted for the most pro abortion Pres evah. Your behavior is relevant and your verbal claim is not.
Obama voted against the born alive infant protection act several times and lied about it.

Daniel is an example of a man that had moral absolutes and didn't compromise.
From a business view, it is safe to say Obama was unknown. he had only offered ideology and no actual track record. He said he would not raise taxes to the middle class. Unemployed middle class pay zero taxes. He said he would not sleep till every one that wanted to work had a job. Smoke and mirrors.

Bad voting because "God already knew" is rather lame. As a conservative, I did read the 2,000 page mess we call Obamacare before it was voted on. I guarantee you did not. Pelosi said it would create 400,000 jobs almost immediately after signing. I knew that was not true.
