it does to the extent of i would
prefer to have a Christian in office, but i'm not NOT going to vote for someone if they aren't. but i totally see love_spell's viewpoint b/c that's what Evangelicals are taught....to spread the Word. it's our "duty" as Christians to let as many ppl as we can know about Christ. she's not talking about hackin a Bible at someone from 50 ft away, she's just talking about not denying what they believe and not only
saying they're a Christian, but
showing that they are. (right?

)
i think it matters to me more than i originally thought b/c i find that ppl who are
truly religious (which does not refer to the clintons or r.kelly

), stick to their morals better b/c they have a reason. whether you are buddhist, Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Scientologist (is that considered a "religion"....i think so), there are guidelines that one should follow (which are all remarkably similar). not that atheists have no morals (i have plenty of non-evil atheist friends

), but i
personally like the idea of doing something for a higher power as opposed to just doing something for myself.
***did not mean to offend anyone, so i apologize early if i did....everything here should be followed with a loud IMO.
