Why are So Many Christians Supporting Obama?

That's a question I've seen people asking lately.  For example, here's a conversation I had on Facebook:

Christians-Obama

Below are some links that might help for anyone else asking that same question, but first here are a few of my reasons:

  • I desire a foreign policy that is less bellicose and more reliant on international cooperation and diplomacy
  • I support generous treatment of immigrants
  • I believe that the policies of the Democrats are more likely to reduce the abortion rate
  • I believe that we need to protect the environment and can't depend on "the market" to do it for us
  • Though I realize this is a gross oversimplification, I feel more kinship with a party whose focus is on the poor and powerless rather than on the rich and powerful
  • I am confident that Obama has a first-class intellect and temperament, qualities that are highly desirable for the job of president
