Yes I know that there is a seperation of Church and state but that hasn't stopped legislation from being passed that protects the religions of Muslims and Hindus in schools but not Christianity if they want to pray or wear a cross. Knowing the religion of the next President means he'll protect those rights and that's what is most important to me. If I had guarantees that government would stay out of issues dealing with religion, I would look toward experience. Also if a president has the same beliefs that I do, I believe he'll make better informed decisions that I would agree with.
Thanks for the thought though. I know as we get closer to election time I'll have a number of people shake their heads at what I truly believe and I'm willing to pay the price. For awhile I've tried to be neutral because you don't lose friends that way but this election has me too excited to not voice what I want on my journal. If I lose friends, then so be it. I'm friends with a number of people that hold views in opposite to my own but I don't let it get in the way of what I feel personally. I just want an open debate...like this :)
Please feel free to debate the issues as they come up :D
