Why are So Many Christians Supporting Obama?
Submitted by Jonathan on Tue, 2008-10-28 21:40That's a question I've seen people asking lately. For example, here's a conversation I had on Facebook:
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
