How the Democratic Party opposes Christian Principles

The key elements of the Atheistic Lifestyle are extreme environmentalism, socialism, feminism, pornography, abortion and homosexuality. By supporting/advocating these issues the Democratic Party is opposing Christian Principles.

Extreme environmentalism is opposed to Christian Principles when nature is worshiped instead of God. God states man is to have dominion over the world.

Socialism requires the person worship the government instead of God.

Feminism deceives a woman and destroys the Christian Family concept that is a cornerstone of the Christian Lifestyle.

Pornography deceives the man and destroys the Christian Family concept that is cornerstone of the Christian Lifestyle.

Abortion denies the value of life taught by the Bible and denies that God has ownership over all people.

Homosexuality denies the word of God and represents total defiance of God.

Democrats attempt to pass hate crime legislation that would prevent Christians from preaching/teaching God's word.

Democrats attempt to pass homosexual marriage/civil union legislation when they get control of the government. A recent example of this was the state of Oregon that went from Republican Control to Democratic Control in 2006. Just as soon as the Democrats were in control, they passed civil union legislation.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_partnership_in_Oregon

Domestic partnership in Oregon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In April and May 2007, following a previous attempt in 2005, the Oregon state legislature passed legislation to make virtually all of the rights afforded to married couples available to same-sex couples. The new status will be referred to in Oregon law as a domestic partnership, avoiding the use of the terms marriage or civil union. Governor Ted Kulongoski signed the bill on May 9, 2007, and it is scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2008.

However, after the November 2006 mid-term elections Democrats won a majority of the formerly Republican-controlled house[4], and in early 2007, Democrats was re-introduced a bill in the House similar to the 2005 legislation. The bill adopted the term "domestic partnership" to describe these unions; the terms "marriage" or "civil union" were absent. This bill enjoyed a relatively easy passage through the legislature, when compared to its 2005 predecessor. Passed by the House on April 17, 2007 (by a vote of 34-26) and by the Senate on May 2, 2007 (by a vote of 21-9), Governor Kulongiski signed the Oregon Family Fairness Act on May 9, 2007. The law is not scheduled to take effect until January 1, 2008.

-----------------------------------

Democrats are very good at selling the Atheistic Lifestyle. Pornography is freedom of speech, abortion is a woman's right to choose and homosexuality is a civil right. One of the most hypocritical statement is: "I would not do that, but I would not object to others doing it". That is like saying: I would not seduce your children, but I would not mind someone else seducing your children. If it is wrong, it is wrong for all people. Christians should not vote for people that condone or advocate evil.

Even Christians are deceived by the propaganda of the Democrats. Universal Health Care sounds good till you realize that the main purpose of Universal Health Care is to force the responsible to pay for the mistakes of the irresponsible. The mistakes of the irresponsible are the evil that the Bible says to avoid.

Actually, the facts seem to be very much represented here. I've always suspected these things of the Democratic Party. Judging by how the Democrats tend to prove it with their ACTIONS, I don't think this is a conspiracy theory.

Good job exposing them! But don't forget the ACLU, as well!
Only problem is there is only opinion here. Facts are like gnats in a hurricane.

This is one of the stupidest statements I've read here.

Ok, lets go over this again. Atheism is simply the absence of belief in god(s). Nothing more. Nothing less. An atheist can have this political view, or that political view. No particular political view is required to be an atheist.

Do you understand this?

How about "not extreme" environmentalism? You have to use the extreme variety to make your point.

Socialism requires the person worship the government instead of God.

Ever read any Rand?

Feminism deceives a woman and destroys the Christian Family concept that is a cornerstone of the Christian Lifestyle.

For from now on, five members of a family will be divided, three against two and two against three; father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother… Luke 12

Pornography deceives the man and destroys the Christian Family concept that is cornerstone of the Christian Lifestyle.

See above.

Abortion denies the value of life taught by the Bible and denies that God has ownership over all people.

http://www.godlessprolifers.org/home.html

Homosexuality denies the word of God and represents total defiance of God.

Ever heard of the Log Cabin Republicans?

Democrats attempt to pass hate crime legislation that would prevent Christians from preaching/teaching God's word.

I too am concerned about "hate crimes" legislation. I think its nonsense to penalize people for their motives in crimes or to criminalize opinion. But how can I feel this way? I'm an atheist!!

A recent example of this was the state of Oregon that went from Republican Control to Democratic Control in 2006. Just as soon as the Democrats were in control, they passed civil union legislation.

If marriage is so "sacred" then why do Christians have such high rates of divorce whereas atheists have lower rates?

See all the above.

Universal Health Care sounds good till you realize that the main purpose of Universal Health Care is to force the responsible to pay for the mistakes of the irresponsible. The mistakes of the irresponsible are the evil that the Bible says to avoid.

Maybe so, but don't equate atheism with support of or opposition to universal health care. Atheists are for, against, and indifferent. Atheism is simply the lack of belief in god(s).

Do you understand?

I'm read a few lines...and I cannot believe it
I don't worship my government in Canada..and Canada is very socialistic..
perhaps its about time you rewind you're thoughts and review it with "moral correctness" rather than "political correctness"

OH PLEASE.
Guess what. JESUS forgives bankers who made mistakes in their life and bankers CHANGE their life with that forgiveness.
Jesus HEALS blind, sick, and provides for needy without any "question"
How can you claim you are self a "Christian" when you start to question other people's mistake, therefore, its their fault and they should suck it up?
What is this?
you go and tell poor African American who are, unfortunately, BORN poor and have no means of educating himself nor providing for health care, his/her FAULT?
For heaven sake, there are people out there who can't afford a car, on welfare, homeless, etc etc.
These people are not YOU middle class/upper class.
They DON'T have opportunities because government nor people GIVES THEM.
They keep them under "charity" line.
Of course, if that charity COMES that is.
NOT Everyone is going to live "American Life"
And Jesus certainly didn't live American life lol

You're questioning of people's health is evil and unreasonable.
People NEED health care.
As people need fire department, police department, municipals government. etc etc etc
And..let's put it this way
One day, this man accidently made fire in his house and it got big.
He called the fire department and told them everything that had happened.
But BECAUSE he made MISTAKE, fire department said, "suck it up and burn"
LOL
Its same with health care.

I agree with most of the things you say, like extreme environmentalism and atheistic stuff. But the part about socialism. Well, I don't like Socialism like we see it in Sweden and Canada, but CS Lewis argued rather well that the ideal Christian society would probably have a big emphasis on personal responsibility, but would also be a little socialistic.

@nighlight: Ayn Rand really disliked God and religion.

As always, we get back to the basic "who is a Christian", and who gets to define it.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A38001-2004Nov9.html

http://www.religioustolerance.org/chr_inte.htm

By putting a political slant on whom YOU think God favors as a Christian, you corrupt the very spirit of God and His relationship with individual Christians. Remember during the 2004 elections when a church tried to push the idea that a vote for Bush was somehow sanctioned by God, and that if you didn't vote their "Christian" way, you were rejected?
http://www.commondreams.org/headlines05/0511-05.htm

God does not sanction political parties, and if you find out that He does, let us know.

Extreme environmentalism is opposed to Christian Principles when nature is worshiped instead of God. God states man is to have dominion over the world.
God never stated that man's dominion was to include destruction. Caring for God's Earth is a Christian value. Neglecting it is unGodly.

Socialism requires the person worship the government instead of God.
Not at all true and a ridiculous claim with no basis in reality. Helping people is a Christian value. Furthermore, outright socialism (the abolition of private capital and economic equality of all people) is not endorsed by anyone in mainstream politics. Only policies to help people who can not help themselves.

Feminism deceives a woman and destroys the Christian Family concept that is a cornerstone of the Christian Lifestyle.
Feminism is the radical idea that women are people

Pornography deceives the man and destroys the Christian Family concept that is cornerstone of the Christian Lifestyle.
Then Christians shouldn't watch porn. It's bad to overeat because it destroys the body, misuses God's purpose, and is identified as the sin of gluttony but we don't make chocolate cake and ribeye steaks illegal.

Abortion denies the value of life taught by the Bible and denies that God has ownership over all people.

Abortion is indeed sinful.

Homosexuality denies the word of God and represents total defiance of God.
What is your point. Should the government punish people for being gay?

Democrats attempt to pass hate crime legislation that would prevent Christians from preaching/teaching God's word.
A lie. This has been debunked a dozen times in the past month alone.

Democrats attempt to pass homosexual marriage/civil union legislation when they get control of the government.
Depends on the Democrats. Some pass civil unions, some gay marriage. I support civil unions and don't care about gay marriage. I could care less if two guys have a piece of paper that says "marriage" on it, so long as the church retains her sacrament. I'm not a fan of using government to force my way on other people. That's why I'm a democrat.

How can you spend so much time getting things wrong? That has to take a lot of energy blaming feminism, homosexuality, abortion, ect. for the social ill's in our society. I would like to know, why do you put all this effort into it? And why do you create phrases like the "atheistic lifestyle?" :scratch: Yes, I would see why you'd hate feminism, you know cause it teaches that people shouldn't be confide to specific roles and argues for equality. I could see why you'd find that threatening. If anything that's happening, it's the extreme right wing people who are in office right are the ones who are trying to tell everyone what Christianity is, and who is and who isn't a Christian. Especially by focusing all this attention on issues like abortion and same sex marriage, and these things are supposedly "destroying the moral fiber of the nation." Instead of focusing on more important issues, like poverty, crime, the education system, etc. I guess focusing on those issues would force people to stop and think about what's really moral.

While I have differences with the OP, that there has been a major realignment in America politics is irrefutable. In The Party of Death: The Democrats, the Media, the Courts, and the Disregard for Human Life, Ramesh Ponnuru traces the split back to Roe v Wade and particularly the Democratic National Conventions of 1972 and 1976. Before those conventions, both parties pretty much agreed on basic social issues and agreed on what today are often characterized as "Christian" positions. At those conventions, Ponnuru wrote, the Democratic Party found, quite to its astonishment, that a quarter to a third of its delegates identified themselves as secularists. So the divergence we see today was not created by Christians or Republicans, it was created by the Democratic party responding to a new (or rather more powerful) force within itself.

Let's see...

Many right-wing Christians are against a woman's right to choose... (which I understand) even in the case of rape, incest, or harm to the mother (which I don't understand).

They are pro-death penalty.

The right-wing Christians were the ones condemning gays and bombing abortion clinics 10-20 years ago.

They lynched blacks and beat women for the sake of control.

So I ask... who is the true culture of death?

We are have a problem here. The problem is an equivocation fallacy. There is old feminism and the new type. I remember studying organizational behavior in college(a business requirement) and they talked about how an organization has a forming period, a purpose, and once that purpose is fulfilled it must either find a new purpose or die out. Women have the vote, they don't have to register for the draft, they have special priveledges in the form of affirmative action, etc. The goal has been met. Well, the more sensible feminists retired, but some remained. So since the movement did not die out it needs to find some sort of purpose. The more modest, sensible goals have been fulfilled, so they have to become more and more radical or dissolve the movement.

Child murder and homosexuality certainly do not cause the ills of society. They are ills of society. So no one is saying that.

So I ask... who is the true culture of death?

I thought you retired, Harpuia.

Anyway, Right wingers are against a false right to choose (to murder their children). And many left wingers are against the right of children to live.

What is important is not what 'wing' you fly on. What matters is do you honor the right to life, or are you against the Constitution and our God-given rights?

We are have a problem here. The problem is an equivocation fallacy. There is old feminism and the new type. I remember studying organizational behavior in college(a business requirement) and they talked about how an organization has a forming period, a purpose, and once that purpose is fulfilled it must either find a new purpose or die out. Women have the vote, they don't have to register for the draft, they have special priveledges in the form of affirmative action, etc. The goal has been met. Well, the more sensible feminists retired, but some remained. So since the movement did not die out it needs to find some sort of purpose. The more modest, sensible goals have been fulfilled, so they have to become more and more radical or dissolve the movement.

Child murder and homosexuality certainly do not cause the ills of society. They are ills of society. So no one is saying that.

Ahh, I see the typical "feminists have nothing to complain about any more." Totally false, there's still a lot of issues that have not been settled. In an particular ares of the workforce, women are still being paid less even though they work hard as their same male co workers and the same education. One theory is due to the fact that it is still assumed that women are going to leave the work and start a family, thus being passed up for promotions. Even though women don't have to register for the draft, women who join the military still face issues of rape, having a hard time getting access to birth control, and other issues. Then there's domestic violence or course, (and no I'm not saying that men aren't victims, just not at the rate women are.) There's always going to be a movement, right now we're in the third wave movement, this is the feminist movement that will include issues of gender identity, racism, and class.

I think I will let you know what type of feminists I am, I'm a Black feminist, do you know what that means? It's not the same as the mainstream feminist movement of women being man-haters, in which you seem to think that's all feminism is. This is a very different form of feminism.

Then there's the plight of women in other countries, dear let me tell you, this isn't about "finding something else to be angry about" there's still work that needs to be done. I don't know what you mean by " the goal has been met" what goal? There's still work that needs to be done.

I came back for the new CF...

Anyway, personally, I am against abortion. I think it is horrible. But like I said and as I proved in my previous post... the conservatives blame the left for being the "culture of death", when throughout history, look who has been doing the killing? The conservatives, at times for the most ridiculous of reasons... most of the time leading back to one thing... the Church.

So like I said... how can the right call the left a death culture when they are, and continue to be (the neo-cons' thirst for war, against abortion even if the woman is dying, etc.) a death culture themselves?
