I'll answer your canine questions seriously.

I can't answer for back in the day, but over the last 10 years , religious persons in this country have been denigrated by progressives and the unofficial/titular home of te anti-Christian movement resides in the Democrat Party. Why would an evangelical want to do business with people who denigrate them?

quote:

And we already know that religiosity doesn't automatically direct someone to Republicanism: there are MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS of very religious Democrats.


Are there. I don't see the Black preachers overall as being religious. Persons like Sharpton have the honorific, but he does not preach about salvation or morality and getting to heaven or saved, he's all about politics

quote:

Well, let's face it... when push comes to shove they're really no different from other Republicans. It's all about shortsighted profit


What's so bad about making a buck? It sure as hell beats taking 20 years on your thesis and working at a Circle K on College Drive

quote:

the separation of church and state because they seek government sponsorship of their own lifestyles at the expense of everyone else.


there is no "separation" of church and state. There is only the freedom of religion "

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;

I get tired of this, yes, abortion in MURDER. You stick a syringe up the female's vaginal canal with a chemical concoction that essentially make the uterus start to reject the fetus. then as the bleeding starts he inserts a mini Vacuum cleaner type device to suck out the fetus. Yeah, I would not vote for a politcian that advocates that level of cruelty.

But then, you are a dog, so you wouldn't understand that sort of thing, you enjoy tasting soiled diapers

I've known a lot Evangelicals. The one constant with all of them is that none of them are communists. So, they are naturally repulsed by the democrat party. That leaves the GOP by default.

Change the question.

What about the Democrat party is attractive to evangelicals?

For a person who is an extreme atheist, you sure spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about God.

Most Christians are Conservatives.
Most Conservatives are Republican.

Not hard Maggie.

No God given rights that man or government can't take away?

There are no god given rights.

And look what your "God" has brought us:

A piece of shite in the White House, a piece of shite as head of the EPA, a piece of shite... well, you get the idea.

Evangelicals have a certain view of morality.
They have a certain view of God.
This is self evident. Those two basic items probably define evangelicals more than anything else.

Of the two parties, democrats oppose that view of morality. In fact, it's been a constant attack of basic morality for the last 50 years. Democrats by and large reject an objective morality. They reject the concept of evil.

Of the two parties, democrats negatively view and express their negative views of God. You are a great example of that. In fact, belief in God is under attack and has been very openly for a while by liberals.

This is common sense. Most God fearing individuals would look at you and see an immoral, bad person. Moreover, they would see someone who wants to attack their faith and ridicule them for it.

And, if that weren't enough, they would see someone who despite all of that complains that Evangelicals don't see the world the same way he does.

Rex, you are an angry, angry little man. You are now someone who attacks people for being religious...or for having their own personal moral opinion that differs from you.
