The teachings of the Church line up more with the Democratic Party than the Republican Party.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I believe that the real difference in the American church is not between conservatives and liberals, fundamentalists and charismatics, nor between Republicans and Democrats. The real difference is between the aware and the unaware.
The church is not a political power; it's not a party, but it's a moral power.
There's no doubt that the Christian right has gone to bed with the more conservative elements of the Republican Party. And there's been a melding in their goals when it comes to the separation of church and state. I've always believed in the separation of church and state.
In the past, the Republican Party has depended on unified support at election time from Evangelical Christians. But times are changing!
I don't know that the Libertarian Party has an official position on the separation of church and state.
The reason why I buy into the Democratic Party more than the Republican Party is because there are over 2,000 verses of Scripture that deal with responding to the needs of the poor.
Christianity means a lot more than church membership.
Since politics fundamentally should be a moral enterprise, the church in this sense has something to say about politics.
The only difference between the Republican and Democratic parties is the velocities with which their knees hit the floor when corporations knock on their door. That's the only difference.
It's a new day for the Democrats when it comes to matters of faith, and the younger Evangelicals are aware of this and many of them are moving into the Democratic camp.
