I have christian beliefs but democratic views?

Question

Heres the thing; i am very strongly religious. I pray every night, i thank God every day, i go to church but my views seem to be democratic as far as politics go.

I think abortion is morally wrong, but i don't think it should be outlawed. I believe God wants marriage to be between men and women, but i don't believe that g**s should have limited rights.

is anyone else like this???

Answer 1

Yes.  I am as well.  Actually Christian values and Democratic values are pretty much the same thing.

The thing being pushed by the Republican party is known as Christian Identity Theology.  Go do a search on that term

Answer 2

I am. That's why I will be voting dem this year.  I don't believe in conservative extremism.

I would never vote to ban abortion but focus more on education to prevent it.  I'm not God and would never try to play him.  There is a very very small group of uneducated girls that use it as birth control. I don't think its a morality issue but more so an ignorance issue. Education is needed.

Answer 3

Why do you believe abortion is morally wrong?

Update:

So by your own belief that abortion is a form of murder, and your belief that it should not be outlawed, you are now saying that this form of murder should not be outlawed?

I'm sorry, but that just doesn't fly.  If you're going to advocate a pro-choice position (which is fine), you can't take the position that the fetus is a viable human life.  Otherwise, you are advocating murder.  If you're going to take a pro-life position (which is also fine), you must advocate abortion being illegal because you believe you are ending an innocent human life.

So I mean it when I say I'm not judging you, but I think you need to spend more examining your position on abortion.  You're taking the "easy way out" on this one and essentially straddling the fence.  Whether you end up pro-choice or pro-life is fine, but your position right now is intellectually dishonest.
