It is well known that conservative Christians are generally GOP supporters. And the Liberal Christians the Democrats.
The liberal Christians are falling away from the Christian post they claim to uphold, because they seek not God but merely what God says.
The conservative Christians are branching out into many extremes because they seek to conform God's words into their will and not their will to God's.
For the liberal type, some wishes to make their Christian title sound by following the likes of Karl Barth and retain the use of "evangelism" in the form of Social Gospel. The end result would be hoping to be sociable but live in isolation and anthropocentric lifestype, correspondingly.
I find it interesting...as if God is playing a lesson upon the conservative Christians, with the only choice of presidential candidate to be a Mormon, in the Republican camp, while they had been used to accuse Obama of being a liberal. Bush and McCain could easily be categorized as "conservative Christians", but a Mormon? Well, "well..." is what their preachers and pastors are saying.
It is the wisdom of God, I believe, to let it be shown, clearly, the ulterior motives of men. One can easily claim orthodoxy but one will never be able to hide one's true motive for long.
I do not believe a president must be a professing Christian to be the best president either, but I am very curious to see how conservative Christians justify themselves in maintaining their stand, theologically. Many discerning orthodox Christian groups around the world would likely disassociate themselves from the Ameristians on this issue alone.
