POLL: Ron Paul supporters religion.....

[JenaS62]

atheist - but I believe in extraterrestrials

Funny you should say that. I consider myself Agnostic but I certainly believe in extraterrestrials and I even believe that they had a hand in our creation.

Wow. If you were to judge simply by the comments made on this board, I suspect you'd have found a significantly greater emphasis on Christianity. We Atheists are a little too used to having to keep our mouths shut, methinks. Silent majority as usual.

Hebrew-Roots Christian, a Believer in the Messiah who keeps the Feasts, and considers the Law to be holy, just, and pure.

I just think libertarians have realized that when you mix religion and politics you get politics. We need to keep politics separate from certain other fields, such as religion. This is part of a saying of Jesus in the Gospels; “Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s.” Funny how someone 2,000 years ago could see this so clearly.

He also said "For this reason I was born and for this purpose I came into the world, to bear witness to the Truth. Those who are of the Truth hear my voice".

So, no matter what you call yourself, or what others call you, if you hear the Truth then you are hearing the voice of the Father, because Jesus also said, "The words I speak are not my own. They are my Father's words".

Men create religions to acquire power, which is why they are willing to kill for them. Religions are part of this world of Death but Jesus said "My kingdom is not of this world (this cosmos, this present system based upon Death)". This is why he laid down his life, entered the very heart of the realm of Death, and then took his life up again, to demonstrate finally, once and for all, that the Truth, Reality is from another place, another dimension entirely, the dimension of indestructible Life.

The whole purpose of having a limited government in this world system is so that men may freely seek the Truth and Life, pursue happiness, and the government will protect their unalienable right to do so. When government is tyrannical, the natural aspiration of all the governments of men, a diversity of opinion is forbidden and speaking the Truth becomes a revolutionary act because the Truth is not of this world, it comes from the dimension of indestructible Life, which is opposed to this world of Death.

Therefore, all Truth seekers, whatever they call themselves, will desire to have a limited government. This is being truthfully proposed by Dr. Ron Paul. This is why all Truth seekers should support him and no other. There can be no compromise with lies and death but we must never use the means of these enemies to attain our ends, else we have already lost.

I highly doubt this is the Ron Paul support base overall. If 33% were atheiest/agnostic, that would mean that a full 10% of all atheists and agnostics, children, adults and otherwise ineligible people voted for Ron Paul in the primaries, 15.15% of eligible voters if they are statistically similar to other groups. I find that doubtful.

I like some philosophies of several religions, but mostly don't care much for organized religion-it's an institution of man (as opposed to "god", deity, etc.)that tends toward corruption.

Christianity was very much a decentralized religion up until the time it became the official religion of the Roman Empire, and an instrument Emperors used to control the populace. Before then, the church was organized, in a sense, but doctrine was determined on an individual and a church level. Bishops, Archbishops, and Patriarchs evolved and were basically only figureheads with symbolic honors for being particularly faithful priests. The only time they had any real power was when there was some kind of heresy that was going on, and a council of local bishops where the problem arose could excommunicate followers from the regular church. It took a lot to be branded a heretic, like claiming Christ was not the Son of God. If you go around and don't call Christ the Son of God, you aren't Christian by any stretch of the imagination.

Eventually the power fight between Rome and Constantinople politically led to a religious power fight between the two patriarchs. The Patriarch of Rome (known today as the Pope) claimed superiority over the others, since his was the post of Peter, while the Patriarch of Constantinople was the figurehead of the decentralized version of Christianity. They eventually split in the "Great Schism" in 1054, where the Patriarchs excommunicated each other. That led to the modern day Catholic Church and Orthodox Churches.
