Pro-Life...Pro-Choice everybody has an opinion, everybody has a judgement thats ok we live in a free country and thats our right. I have to wonder why because I voted for Obama my Christian values are being questioned...I want to make it clear that although I voted for Obama it's because of his policies, all the issues that plague the US and the world he had the best plan for, not to mention he is a calm guy, he is not war hungry or just thinking about the US, he is also thinking globally.
Even though I did vote for Obama I still don't agree with his pro-choice or gay marriage but I also don't think that one president can change every law...California just voted on proposition 8 to legalize gay marriage and it didn't pass in a very liberal state.
When it comes to my vote...if and when the time comes to vote prolife/prochoice or legalize gay marriage, I will always vote prolife and no gay marriage. But I have to wonder about all the people so quick to question Obama for being pro choice and thats all your looking for in a preident??? Look at Bush he's prolife when it comes to abortion but when it comes to his own oil agenda his prochoice...prochoice to kill innocent people in Iraq! McCain is no better...he's a hot head with a war hungry agenda as well...so although it's great he is prolife when it comes to abortion...what about all the people being killed in wars???? Did they choose to be killed?? I don't think so.
What about all the poor people in war torn countries???? Does the Bush doctrine give a plan to help them out??? No, it doesn't and he hasn't done anything but continue the war since 2002...thats over 6 years of war debt, soliders/families lives changed, and innocent people killed.
Why can't we focus on other issues that are just as important??? Our countries problems are more then just prochoice/prolife...we need a president who will have a level head when looking at and dealing with all the issues. I've heard from so many people claiming Bush was allowed into office by God, and what a mess we have from that...why wouldn't God allow a president like Obama, giving a new way to do things in this country, extend goodwill and olive branches to other countries, and spark a new life in people that feel forgotten??!!!
It's our job as Christians to live our lives like Christ...I have to say the emails, comments I've received from fellow Christians have been more ungodly then the things I've heard coming from the Democrat camp towards the Republican camp...thats pretty sad.
Are we waiting for the perfect Christian to vote into office??? If we are thats not going to happen. We need to support and pray for our current president and help him clean up the mess Bush(so called Christian) has left behind. So lets leave all judgements to God and try to help get the country back on track...lets not forget that our hope should be in Christ!!!! No matter who is in office we still have to be Christians and treat others the way Christ would want.. that means the poor and unfortunate(the kind of people that Obama has been helping more than anyone), quit putting billions of dollars into a war that is about Bush's own agenda when our economy is suffering so much.
May God Bless America!!
