    I am a Christian and I could never vote for Obama and honestly I don't see how any Christian could vote for him unless they simply call themselves Christians but don't really practice it. Much like Obama.

    The man has lied over and over again. His questionable associations with Tony Rezko, Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright, none of which he's explained sufficiently. Obama expects us to believe that he had no idea his "spiritual advisor" of 26 years held firm beliefs that the government of America created the AIDS virus and was oppressing citizens not only in the USA but around the world. Obama admitted to attending the church about twice a month for 20 years. Obama must think we're stupid to believe he had no idea of the kind of vitriol that Jeremiah Wright was spewing. Tony Rezko helped find and fund, suspectively, Obama's house. Something about the whole ordeal seems very fishy indeed. Obama's links with Ayers on the CAC board were close and he's been utterly dishonest about his level of connection with Ayers.

    Obama is pro partial birth abortion and Obama's tax hikes on the "wealthy", the top 5%, will also encapsulate millions of S-Corporations that employ millions more Americans.

    THIS IS WHY MCCAIN CAN AND SHOULD WIN THIS ELECTION..........

    He attended the prestigious United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, he has been a prisoner of war, he has military experience and Obama has NONE. The future commander in chief of a country should at least have SOME military experience.

    McCain, in his own words:

    "Listen, pal. I spent 22 years in the Navy. My father was in the Navy. My grandfather was in the Navy. We in the military service tend to move a lot. We have to live in all parts of the country, all parts of the world. I wish I could have had the luxury, like you, of growing up and living and spending my entire life in a nice place like the First District of Arizona, but I was doing other things. As a matter of fact, when I think about it now, the place I lived longest in my life was Hanoi."[64][77]

    On top of that he has a US HOUSE and SENATE career that spans from 1982 to now

    Obama can't even begin to compare to those numbers. The longest thing Obama ever did was attend a ANTI WHITE ANTI AMERICAN church for 20 plus years.

    Absolutely not an issue. The only faith that will effect my vote is in the voting process and in the constitution.

    Jesus was a community activist. Pontius Pilate was a governor.

    But, seriously, I my spiritual beliefs direct me to feed the hungry, heal the sick, and house the homeless. Some people call that "Socialism", I'd call it "Christianity". But it's equally true of all of the other religions of the world. I'm voting for Obama/Biden.

    Obama has lied about his faith. He does not resemble any definition of Christanity. In fact his position is exactally opposite.

    Source(s): This is not judgement. The "fruit" of his life is anti-christ.

    I guess my faith and upbringing kind of dictates my morals, so I tend to vote along with someone who is more conservative. It doesn't matter to me what THEIR faith is, but as long as their policies fall in line with what I feel is right, then I tend to vote that way. Obama goes against every grain of my being, so I wont be voting for him.

    It doesn't. I vote for whomever I believe will do the best job as president, regardless of faith affiliation.

    I am a christian and I am backing Obama 100% as he is a proclaimed born again christian. But that is not the reason I am voting for him, I am voting for him because he the best candidate to move this country in a positive direction.

    I'm voting for the one who doesn't force his beliefs on other people and won't turn the US into a theocracy.
