re: Do Your Political Views Directly Reflect Your Religious Views?

Kinda. I cannot in good conscience vote for someone that believes abortions of convenience are ok. The way I look at it is when I cast a vote to elect someone, I am putting my trust in that person to represent my views and interests, and anyone that believes that killing babies is ok is on a wildly different moral plane than me. I don't expect to agree on every issue, in fact I'm not sure there has ever been or ever will be a candidate I agree with 100% of the time, but that's a story for another day.

Also, aren't you supposed to be self banned?
