Christianity and Politics - As the 2012 Presidential Election draws closer as well as the mud slinging worsens, it is easy to predict just what sort of mud will probably be thrown. Particularly when both presumed candidates have social and religious issues to deal with. The true question is: Hold the candidates made themselves fair game by choosing extreme positions on these things? I believe that the reply is a resounding 'YES'.



President barack obama rode a huge wave of popularity into office within the last presidential election. People wanted change. Whether or not they got what they wanted is an additional debate. What exactly is certain is the fact that matters regarding his viewpoints which affect or include religious and social considerations which were all but ignored or swept under the rug during the last go round, is not going to so easily vaporize now.



Obama recently took the positioning of supporting Gay Marriage. You could reason that he was bullied into that proclamation by his V . p . who courts controversy each time he speaks in public areas. However, the horse is out of the barn and it is irrelevant who's at fault. What does matter is when Conservative and Evangelical Christians, as well as people who pastor or attend churches that have primarily African-American congregations, will respond to Obama's position on Gay Marriage.



It would appear that most prominent Conservative and Evangelical Christian Leaders usually are not building a big deal out of the President's Gay Marriage proclamation. That's probably because they do not consider him to be a Conservative or Evangelical Christian, and think that his climb onto most situations affecting religious perspectives is inconsequential in their mind. It is more interesting to remember what Christian Pastors and Leaders in the African-American community are saying when questioned about Obama's recent revelation regarding Gay Marriage.



A few weeks ago I'd a fascinating conversation with my spouse. I shared with her which i believed Mitt Romney would never have the support he craves from Conservative and Evangelical Christians. The reason is as they is really a member and Elder from the Church Of Jesus of Latter-Day Saints. Many Conservative and Evangelical Christians would not be considering supporting his bid for the presidency because they believe he belongs to a cult.



Inside our conversation, Furthermore, i mentioned that Mitt Romney may possibly face stiff resistance from African-American Pastors and Leaders. Why? Because for one hundred and five decades the Latter-Day Saints taught that blacks were cursed. They refused to enable them to be a part of the LDS Priesthood. My prediction came true immediately.



As opposed to referring to President Obama's climb onto Gay Marriage when asked about it, most African-American Pastors and Leaders began speaking out against Morman racism and Mitt Romney's alleged support from it automatically. They explain which it wasn't until the 1970s that Mormans allowed blacks to join the LDS priesthood which both Mitt Romney and the father were Elders in their religion. The situation now becomes which candidate voters who worry about these matters are able to excuse for their religious and social positions or affiliations.



The president has kept company with what many have to say is pastors and educators with extreme leftist political and social views. Most non-black voters will probably go beyond that because everyone knows there was a time when African-Americans were horribly mistreated within this country. That left many black pastors and leaders with little choice but to adopt extreme positions from the establishment during days past. But Obama also faces some additional problems because individuals perceive that he has placed his willingness to supply an affirmation for Gay Marriage plus a desire to brace his medical care system most importantly of all including religious considerations.



Obama's individuals have been hammering religious institutions to make their back independently beliefs in support of his one-size-fits-all medical care system. A quick study of dyed in the wool religious positions on things like Abortion, Contraceptive and Euthanasia must have provided obama with all the conclusion that the public thought of his healthcare system as supporting these things could have managed to get a non-starter. But it didn't, his health care bill passed and will probably wind up dying a pokey death in the courts.



Christianity and Politics - As the President dances around every one of the conditions that originate from his support of Obama Care and Gay Marriage, Mitt Romney must come to grips with and then try to answer the criticism about his wealth, decisions made throughout his business career and also the extremes of his Faith. Meanwhile, many Americans feel they have been still having two bad choices for President. It's bad that nobody is apparently concerned with them. I consider the position it does not matter whom you opt for, you're going to get exactly the same thing: A politician so rapped up in their own ideology and thus disconnected from average Americans which they cannot possibly do just about anything positive for anybody except themselves and their friends while in office.
