That’s right. There are many who have a distorted view of God. God does not instruct His followers to kill those who don’t believe in Him. It is the complete opposite.

Frankly, I view voting as an exercise in absurdity. As absurdity, I find it perfectly acceptable to vote for someone you know ahead of time will not win. Then again, my strategy is usually vote for a third party if possible, against the incumbent if not, and Democrat if there’s no other options.

Obama’s winning Colorado anyway, so cast your vote for anyone who strikes your fancy. And Bob Barr just has a cool name.

I guess you could say I am one convinced believer. I don’t know everything about my faith but I’m learning more each day and I do know that God did not fail. God sent Jesus to die for our sins. And I couldn’t put it better by describing Jesus’ death as an appalling human sacrifice. Jesus was God in human form, he died the most painful death known to mankind, and sacrificed His life so that we could live in Heaven. So no, sinning has not stopped in the world. “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” But it was never Gods plan to stop the sinning in the world. Right now it seems like there was no point for Jesus to die. But Jesus and God are omni-everything and because of that Jesus was able to overcome death and save us from the punishment of our sins.
And as hard as it is to believe Jesus is coming back again and those against God are going to Hell and those that have dedicated their lives to following God and have accepted Jesus into their lives are going to Heaven. Its a little blunt and definitely close minded but it is also the absolute truth. Jesus did not die in vain. He conquered death and we will soon see just how victorious His life is.

So, cast your vote on my behalf. Vote Obama. My reasoning is thus.

Obama may tax you slightly more. However, he isn’t going to bankrupt your country anymore than the republicans have already and will probably do more to help your finances than McCain.
McCain has a hard on for war with Iran. This would be a fantastic disaster for America. Your military literally cannot take it, it needs some recovery time.
McCain is not in any sense a maverick. He will follow the same neo-con policies that have destroyed much of America’s wealth, reputation and military might over the last 8 years.
The Democrats are far from perfect but what is really needed now is a return to the clinton years or something even better. Peace, economic prosperity and social progress.
As a libertarian you should care that the republicans will try and restrict your freedoms (often on religious grounds) and invade your privacy. The democrats may tighten up on gun control but really, thats neither here nor there, they aren’t going to ban them and you don’t need a rack of assault rifles.

If you are happy with the way your nation has been run the last 8 years, vote for McCain (and hope he doesn’t get ill). If you are unhappy with the way your country has been run (and in my mind you should be furious) then vote to change the way things are being done and vote Obama.

I couldn’t agree more. The problem is that a bunch of people BELIEVED he did.
