Shut up, Bybee. You just find reasons to try and grandstand on me, that's all. Let someone of Judaic influence be in the highest seat in the world, and you will feel stupid for even defending it in the first place.
You, Granite and Elohiym are all thriving on a straw man which I have burned. It is obvious that I am talking about Judaism.
So all three of you can just go to Hell, trying to call me a bigot and an 'embarrassment' for caring about my religion and seeing that Judaism has no place in disrupting it.
Does that seem like a Christian attitude to you? Telling people they can "go to Hell" because they disagree with your opinions, and tell you why? Should think about that.
Jesus said that salvation is of the Jews (Jn 4:22) meaning the gospel he was preaching was part of Judaism, not a different religion (like Samaritanism). What you call Christianity was, and is, a sect of Judaism. It wasn't even called Christianity until long after Jesus went to his Father. Nowhere in scripture was Christianity declared to be a new religion separate from Judaism. That's been man's doing.
Paul makes the "idiot argument" in Romans 2:28-29.
Agreed. We are not some new, totally separate religion, and the entire OT is a JEWISH book. Some people seem to forget that.
Blah blah blah. I am not antisemitic, I am anti-Judaic. You all can beat that straw man to death, you all are just patently trying to aggravate me, finding a reason to act like children. The irony is that if I replaced Judaic with Muslim in all my posts, nobody on here would saying anything. That is the ignorance of society.
What's the difference?? As for the Muslim comparison, when you show me large crowds of Jewish people waving signs calling for death to Christians, then feel free to share it. You won't find such a crowd, but you can see plenty of Muslim crowds doing just that. Take a look on YouTube, at all of the Muslim protests, with signs and verbiage against Christianity. You seem VERY confused on this issue. That isn't news reporters skewing anything, when you can see the people doing those things. Wake up.
JUDAIC PEOPLE HATE CHRISTIANS. MUSLIMS DO NOT HATE CHRISTIANS. YOU ALL TRUST JEWS MORE THEN MUSLIMS, BECAUSE YOU ALL ARE MEDIA DRONES.
*snip*
Alright, let me amend that....you ARE very confused. I could show you comments against Christians by the thousands, in a few minutes of looking. Media drones? Go ahead, call me one. Deny the factual video evidence of the truth. Why is it you would tell Christians here they can "go to Hell", defend a group that wants all Christians dead, yet claim Christianity? I am now very confused here.....
Rick Santorum believes in Satan. Does that alarm you?
It only alarms me if he doesn't understand the difference between there being evil in the world, and there being invisible demons that try to trick people into doing evil things. Santorum is a Catholic, so I suspect he understands the difference.
What scares me about Santorum is that he appears to me to be completely closed to the alternate beliefs of others. The whole point of being a public servant is to serve the public, not yourself. That means being able to consider and respect lots of different views and ideas about how things are, and how things should be, because the public is a diverse entity. You can't serve the public and ignore them at the same time.
It would be really nice to see a public servant who understood what that means to serve the public, for a change.
One can serve the public without agreeing with everything others believe. The only issue is that they have to understand other have the right to believe as they choose, and not to infringe on that right (assuming no one is hurting others as a result of their beliefs). As for demons, I have no issue with someone believing those are real, as they ARE.
Most Jews are atheists, I am aware of this. A lot of Jews who practice Jewish customs only do so because of tradition. There are really not too many actual adherents to Judaism in relevance to Islam and Christendom. Messianic Jews can't really be called Judaic because they are syncretists. That alone separates them from the practicing Jews.
The initial point I was trying to make is that such a person in office is going to have zero respect for Christianity. They are highly controlled by orthodox Jews, and the Christendom needs, really, is that influence especially in America where Protestants are being backed into a corner by practically everyone including other Christians as well.
A Muslim in office would actually be a better alternative, it's just that people fail to see that with the likes of extremists taking rise.

Who are you to say to someone that they are not really Jewish? Being Jewish and being Christian are not mutually exclusive. The apostles certainly didn't think that way.
You're confusing a personal interpretation of "respect" with a social interpretation of it. I don't care what a public servant respects personally. That's his/her own business. When I say they should respect the beliefs of their constituents, I mean that 'he' should understand the beliefs of his constituents, and show respect for them in his role as their representative. Otherwise, he's not representing them, anymore. He's only representing himself, and his own beliefs.
A Christian can remain a Christian while still respecting and representing the atheists within his constituency. And in fact, my point is the he is obliged to do so by the requirements of his office.
And when it comes to the question of righteousness, I believe any public servant who can't manage to humble himself enough to act as the representative of his constituents, even though he may disagree with them, is unfit for the job, and should not have accepted the responsibility of public service in the first place. In a nation of free peoples, the public has the right to be wrong. Any supposed representative that doesn't understand and respect that right, does not deserve the honor of serving them.
The right to believe as we wish, yes. That doesn't mean we have to respect the beliefs themselves, though.
Your ancestors killed Jesus in cold blood, your generation spits on Christians. Therefore, your bleeding heart makes you a hypocrite. I have ample reason for not wanting a practicing Jew in office, and you go on to portray me as Hitler.
Typical atheist.
WRONG. You want to know who killed Jesus? I DID. So, stop blaming an entire group of people, and blame me. MY sin killed Him. THAT is what He died for. Anyone calling themselves Christian that can't understand that truth doesn't understand who Jesus is.
The "facts" being that you insulted my heritage and are a stunted, ignorant racist. Using religion as a shield to justify hatred is an old sly ploy of hicks such as yourself, and it's an old, transparent trope. If you had the courage of your convictions you wouldn't need to use Christianity as an excuse for being a bigot.
Have to side with you on that one. No excuse to use religion as a shield for bigotry. It's one thing to see a real threat, and call it what it is, but it's another to pretend one that doesn't exist, and for which there is no evidence. All the while ignoring evidence that a group one defends IS in fact a real threat. As a Christian, sorry some do that sort of thing. It isn't right, and surely drives many from salvation. Look at the Savior, not us fellow sinner, eh?
