I just read an article passed on to me by a friend called, "The Conservative Christian Case for Supporting Obama." Author Rob J makes some really good points that all Christians would do well to consider, but also some that are obviously quite debatable based on a person's worldview and philosophy. I also found it interesting how he talks about Republicans talking badly about certain people and then turns around and pretty much slams others himself, most notably Sarah Palin. (Did I just slam him for slamming people? It never stops. lol!)
I am not trying to defend the author's positions, so if you want to argue or debate, do so directly with the author on his page, not mine. If you want to share your thoughts on it here, that's fine, but please understand that I offer the article not to agree but simply to help people see how some in the Christian community (yes, they're Christians!) arrived at a decision to support Barack Obama. You may (and many surely will) totally disagree, but at least it will give you a glimpse into the rationale (albeit not necessarily the rationale of all who voted as such) of some in the Christian community. Remember, while we may disagree on issues, we must have a basic respect for individuals, so if you decide to debate the author, please do so with that as your guiding principle.
