Question

Why do Republicans mix religion and politics?

Answer 1

there are more than two sides.  our country was founded by people who believed in God.  I don't think that referencing our beliefs is wrong.  God is in our pledge of allegience, on our money, etc.  Welcome to America.

Answer 2

The neocons (the republicans and democrats) mix relegion with politics because they want to create themselves ibn public image as gods / preachers.

I know there is no such thing as "separation of church and state". But Obamas god like image to his worshipers is strange, and frightening considering he is just an extension of state power over the people.

Democrats are all for taxing people and giving the money to preachers who preach in favor of that administration. It is called "Faith based initiatives". Obama may actually be more for the 'faith based initiatives' than mccain. And it is wrong.

Answer 3

I don't know but I don't remember the Bible mentioning anything about politics.

Jesus loved BOTH sides and wanted us ALL with him

Answer 4

Gives them something to do between g*y bathroom trysts.

Answer 5

With any politician they do just anything in the hope of a few votes.  

Answer 6

Because a lot of people's religious beliefs influence there political beliefs and the republicans realize that. The republicans might not be always right but at least they care about people religious beliefs. The democrats however like to bash anyone who says they believe in god.

Answer 7

A person should stand for what he believes in not what he doesn't believe in.

Answer 8

Simple - when we mix booze and politics, we vote democrat. It is safer that way :-)
