And here is my response to this email:
A lot of those liberal issues are things that probably are not going to change in the next 4 years, and maybe never change. e.g. abortion rights, same-sex marriage, human cloning. And in the long-run, though I don't support any of these ideas, I think that eventually society will be corrupted enough that they cannot be stopped from becoming legislated in a non-Christian manner. But not in the next 4 years. Probably not for 20 or more.
My second (and final) point is about McCain's character. I don't believe he is a Christian. Just listening to him the way he attacks Obama throughout his campaign, I feel like he is turning off a lot of Christ-followers (and I'm not even mentioning the threats to Obama during GOP rallies) just because he isn't behaving very appropriately. And I don't know if anyone follows Jekyll Island news (a small island just off the coast of Georgia... if you're not from around here, you will not have heard of it) or not, but lately there has been a lot of controversy over some things taking place there involving corrupted politics and favors to the politically-connected. Reports are that members of McCain's campaign (one chairman in particular) are directly involved.
So... I don't know if Obama is a Christian, nor do I know about McCain. If I had to guess, I think Obama is probably not a Christian, and McCain is probably only a Christian when it is strategic to his purpose. And I may not be right about either of them, but I'd rather take my chances on the one that is campaigning with the most integrity. Alas, these are our 2 candidates and so unlike George W, I have to vote for one based on a lot more than Christian values.
P.S. I can't find a news article related to Huntley Brown's comments, and I don't respect email as a credible source, at all.
