How can you be a Christian and call yourself a Democrat?

This has always bothered me, why would you associate yourself with a democrat if you are a Christian? Democrats are literally getting rid of religion. Atheists are growing rapidly, Christianity is literary being outlawed everywhere a -blam!-ing store owner can't even give discounts to Christians without being harassed, just PATHETIC!!!! In the constitution it meant you can't force anybody to be religious, it didn't mean outlaw it. It's time to take a stand!

  • Easy response. Democrats tend to focus on social programs that help the poor, sick and elderly. Just like that other radical, Jesus. Democrats are also in favor of income equality. I seem to remember a certain Jewish radical flipping the tables of the money changer capitalists set up in the temple. Jesus even made a point to demonstrate the inequity in the widows coin offering at the temple. Striving for a fair minimum wage is another democratic tent pole. Jesus Christ healed the sick and tended to the wounds of the poor forgotten people, nowadays we scoff at obamacare but I see it as an powerful Christian act of compassion. Republicans tend to stir Christian fundamental rage around election time... do your best to remain unmanipulated. Vote however you choose but please be skeptical of both sides. Recall Jesus chiding the pharasees for adhering strictly to religious dogma instead of the spirit of gods word. I could go on but I think I will give you an opportunity to turn the other cheek.
