update alert. 12/04/06 see above. Slow Change of Heart. concerning Mormons - NOT Democrats;)
I finally found the words to explain to people why Christians might vote Democrat over Mormons. Now I would never vote Democrat unless they went back to their roots in the early part of the last century. I am against child labor although my father wasn't. I believe women are capable of making good decisions at the voting booth although single women still haven't proven it. I am against slavery. Oh and rape, too. But it seems their (Dems) job is done and they can stop what they are currently doing and become productive instead.
But I digress. As an evangelical I can see why lapsed Christians would vote for Hilary or Bill or Charlie or Jessie etc. We know that these folks claim to be Christians (the pols), might even believe in Jesus as Savior, but we know that they don't take Him seriously. They like the Savior part but not the Lord part. The carnal part of them, the human desire parts take over easily. They don't want to be bothered with Scripture unless they get in trouble. That's human, I can see that. I'm not perfect. Ted Kennedy even goes so far as not to impose religion on himself, he is that fervent in separation of Church and other things.
But the important thing to note is that nobody is
fooled or
deceived by them. We know they aren't serious Christians. But they at least claim it. This gives some folks an "out" and relieves their mind as they pull the lever for Jimma Carta (even though it is clear that he is a liberal idealist first, then a Christian).
The Mormons claim it but are most certainly not Christians. Their Jesus is a son spirit along with his brother Satan, in their beliefs.

This is what bothers Christians so much. They are deceiving others about Jesus. This is dangerous. The other lapsed Christians are merely comical and annoying. That is the difference.
We cannot and will not vote for deceivers.
