16. I've been suprised by
the fact that I've met many Christian voters who think Bush is absolute scum, believe in evolution but also want to overturn Roe v. Wade. I've also known Christians who believe that Jesus was not the son of God. I don't think one issue can define you as a voter. I respect people who can stand up and wholeheartedly say they believe in God just as I respect the faith of someone who says there is no God. Right now, we're fighting against a Republican Party that has no respect for other people's faith, so there is going to be some criticism of their religiois beliefs. I've seen many threads on here apologizing for using coverall terms like Christian to talk about Republicans when evangelical or theocrat are more appropriate.
The sad thing is, the Repulbicans seem to have hijacked your religion. People who say they are Christian are assumed to vote Republican. But if we could take one lesson from Republicans, it would be political unity. Your personal beliefs are your own, but regardless of your faith, we are Democrats.
