Jonolon" says "Damnation awaits those who vote for Obama. The Christian god abhors abortion - the murder of those most innocent - and will surely those [sic] damn those who are complicit in it."

First of all, Jonolon, you need to be very careful about speaking for God. Only God knows who he will damn and who he will let into Heaven. It's presumptuous on your part to think you are able to look into Obama's heart as God does.

Second, Obama doesn't like abortion. He is not as clear as you are - or as I am - about why it's wrong. But I am a pro-life Catholic and I am going to vote for Obama - for many reasons - but one of those reasons is that I believe there will be fewer abortions under his governance than there will be under McCains, because (just as was the case in the Clinton administration), there will be more supports for pregnant women that give them options other than abortion when there are unwanted pregnancies.

Third, I think Jesus cares a lot about the way we treat the poor. That's a pro-life issue also. And Republicans don't believe in the programs Democrats do to care for the poor and the most vulnerable among us. So I think it's the "Christian thing to do" to keep that in mind also.

Fourth, I believe that Obama will end the war, a war which does NOT fit into the "just war" category - which is a sin against the innocent there. War is a pro-life issue, too.

I'm sorry Obama doesn't support the end of capital punishment, which is another pro-life issue, but I hope under his administration it will be administered more fairly.

So your rhetoric doesn't befit a Christian, and as a fellow Christian, I admonish you to examine the beam in your own eye before judging the heart of a brother in Christ, because Obama is a Christian, and you are commiting the sin of calumny against him. That's another sin which can put a person in jeopardy of hell.

Go think about it, Jonolan.
