Would a real Christian vote McCain?

Question

A lot has been said about God and about Christianity in this election and in others before it.

I have been wondering how so called Christians can vote for a candidate that is pro-war and vows to stay and keep on killing for 100 years and still claim to follow Jesus.

Recall in the New Testament Barabas wanted Jesus to fight the Romans with violence and Jesus said No. Jesus said turn the other cheek. Jesus said love your enemies, for if you only love those who love you, what good is that? And, isn't one of the 10 Commandments "Though Shall Not Kill"? I don't believe there was a special clause that said, "Unless you are American."

So, how does a Christian justify the war in Iraq, the prisoners who have been tortured by American forces, the civilians that have been killed by American weapons, the enemies that have been killed as well?

Answer 1

Yes, they would. Better question now, would a REAL christian vote for OBAMA? I think not.

Answer 2

How can Christians condone the 50 MILLION aborted lives sacrificed on the alter of your right to "choose"?  

Answer 3

Good question, but you have to consider abortion first. Then, the choice is easy.

Why consider abortion first? For me, it is the impact. 40,000,000 babies murdered in 35 years and 5000 Americans in war. Clear to me the greater evil is abortion.

Answer 4

cant wait to hear the answers you will receive to this one...

Answer 5

here we go.

McCain is not "pro-war" as you say. In his speech last night he proclaimed that he hates war and he should know because he was in it. He just wants us to win a war that we are already in.

And that commandment actually states "Shall Not MURDER". Look it up. Original translation



John McCain made a call for a banned on cruel treatment of foreign suspects in the war on terror. Why? Because he knows torture doesn't work. Just makes you lie like the dickens.

Answer 6

We are helping to end the suffering of millions by killing the few and supporting democracy.  Good thing the French thought the same 232 years ago.

Answer 7

If we weren't fighting in Iraq, we would be fighting some where else. That is how you get to live in a free Country. We don't fight wars,because we have nothing better to do. We fight to keep America safe. And Yes this Christian is voting for John McCain, because God told me to, and I can not vote for a baby killer. Democrat for McCain/Palin 2008.

Answer 8

Wait.. there is a god?

Answer 9

Yes.
