The system is broken

[kscarbel2]

I am sorry to have to disagree with you Kscarbel, religion has no part in politics or business, religion is personal and how they want to live there life based on there beliefs. So before I am labeled a left wing liberal which I am not, I did go to catholic schools for my education and so have my two daughters and that was of there choosing. My religious views are my own and government has no right being in religion and vise versa. I also think that President Obama has been a horrible president not based on race but he has no policy and is indecisive and leads based on polls plain and simple. If you vote you have the right to complain and if you don't participate in the system then don't complain if you don't like the results and I am not saying that to infer that no one here doesn't but more in what I tell my daughters.,,,,,Just my feelings

????? Where did my post mention religion?

I think the point is that in general terms, one with God (Capital G by the way) in his heart is less likely to use his fellow man poorly. That "higher moral standard" is what makes us less likely to break the law as the law is generally reflective of the Ten Commandments as given to us by God. They are linked regardless of your belief. To be truly Christian, you have to internalize the Bible AND you have to do your best to act and yes, VOTE like Christ would encourage you to do. History shows that Hitler and Stalin banned religion as religion challenged the ultimate authority of government and caused too many problems for the earthly rulers. As a nation we are pushing religion out like it is a bad thing when our very willingness to do so is not only sinful but leads to the further moral decay where anything is okay as long as society accepts it as such. It is one big step in the death of America and is a shameful way to think, act, and vote. We will follow the USSR and Red China if we don't smarten up. See how that worked out for them!

This is probably squirmy stuff but you can't not walk the walk AND hope for salvation if you turn your back on all of it as you go. We are not on this earth by accident and living as fully as we are directed to do includes bringing Christ into every part of our lives...ALL of it or He will say " I did not know you". This doesn't make me a nut although nuts are out there (Isis for example) but does make me more likely to try to help my fellow man...And if this offends anyone, I pray for your salvation, but I won't deny my position.

The 10 commandments are a good guideline for anyone, of any religion and any race to live their life by.

True that.
