When it comes to elections, as I stated before, it really should be tough. While one’s religion is not a qualifier, or disqualifier, for president (in legal terms), it is something to consider.
So, we have the question of Romney as a Mormon and should the president be considered “pastor in chief.”
Then, there is the discussion of Paul Ryan’s seemingly close ties with the philosophy of Ayn Rand. Does the philosophy of someone who did not think religion was compatibl with her own political thought have a place in the political theory of someone who is a devout Catholic?
The mix is incredibly interesting. I am not making any case for who is the “better Christian,” or rumors of Obama being a secret Muslim.
It is just interesting how political philosophy and Christianity make strange bedfellows, whether on the political left or the political right.
It just reinforces my thought that a Christian should have a tough time voting in an election, and a Christian should be thinking during an election cycle.

Yes…but I think about those who openly and proudly support the mass murder of innocents and it makes it less difficult to get lost in the charade. I’m not a one issue voter…but all things being equal…they aren’t.
Exactly. This is why voting requires thinking.
if I said I read Nietzsche AND Kirkegaard , who are existentialist writers/philosophers, one being atheist , famous for the phrase “God is dead’ and the other Christian, who took “the leap of faith’ , what would become of me being voted for, if i were running? Because I, too, have close ties to each camps of An Existentialist. it does take much thought.
