well i guess american christians voted for him becoz of his political opinions and not his religious beleives u can't mix up religion and politics . And i think (i don't wanna debate that) that hes doing a great job coz the world is kinda safer now that the battlefield is in irak --->i am saying that coz i am from a neighboring country and every terrorist left my country and went to irak

That's also true

I disagree with the part about religious beliefs. During the three presidential debates before the elections, Bush always spoke about his religion and religious beliefs--except when discussing the war in Iraq, and especially when discussing gay rights.

Some political analysts are also considering the reason why more Americans voted for Bush was because Kerry was Roman Catholic, and many American sects of Protestantism are anti-Catholic.

I think the gay thing was a bigger factor than the sect becoz if u check the states won by bush and those won by kerry the people who voted for bush doesn't even know what protestantism is but they know that gay marriage is heresy.and i still think bush's international policy has some positive points for me HEHE but for the americans thats another story.

No, since Bush easily won the Bible Belt states.

Bush obviously used religion to get re-elected. He says that he is anti-abortion, anti-homosexual rights, and keeps raving about god. I heard people say "I'm voting for Bush because he is anti-abortion."

Also the government puts stickers on books with evolution that say "Evolution is only a theory and should be considered with an open mind." They are also twisting the meaning of theory - a sientific theory is a hypothesis that was proven by experiment. With that logic gravity is also a theory and should be considered with an open mind.

It absolutely disgusts me how the US government endorses religion. They deny rights to homosexuals over meaningless words - the definition of a marriage.

America has a whole system of making people more easy to exploit. For example: school kids praising an American flag. From birth people are told that America inherited the world and capitalism and democracy is paradise and should be defended and forced upon other people at all costs because it is so called freedom. Imagine what would happen to you if you were openly a communist or a national socialist. Freedom of speech is only relevant when it agrees with the majority and the government.

Bush always said during his campaign that by banning gay marriage he was working to preserve the sanctity of true straight marriage--even though 50% of straight American marriages end in a divorce.

Also, many hard line opponents to the theory of evolution don't understand how creationism could fit together with evolution. It doesn't have to be either/or.

Bush in a debate gave a really positive argument for aborption he said that instead of legalizing it he would encourage nurseries and adoption and help out unmwilling mothers and if i am against aborption(and i am) this would encourage me to vote bush.u have to understand something bush comes from Texas his mentality is different from ours (we are more open-minded) but the majority of americans share his mentality so even though hes not qualified he is the most logical leader becoz he is the best representative of the american people.

Kerry said pretty much the same thing, except for the fact that he is pro-choice; he also said he wouldn't force his religious beliefs on people who didn't share the same beliefs, but would do his best to promote adoption over abortion.
