So here is my blurb on the election:

I didn't like either of the canidates
Much of what Obama stands for I hate (note: not all)
I think it is cool that we do have a black president, and that is very cool moment in history

Well, I know thousands of christians have been praying for God's will to be done

If thousands of Christians have genuinely been praying for God's will to be done over these elections - maybe it has!

I think you'll find that the rest of the world is happier with this choice than otherwise.

Well, to be honest, making the rest of the world happy brings me no comfort. There is a reason the US is the greatest nation on the planet.

Obama is pro abortion (even partial birth abortion), pro homosexual marriage, against gun rights, anti-war, and has plans to make us a socialist system.

I know we but heads on this, but I think the more the government tells us how to spend our money, the less freedom we have.

It is clear that Jesus would not favor abortion, so, christians should not have abortions. However, Jesus has always

has plans to make us a socialist systemIf by this you mean a system where ordinary working people can work & afford to pay their bills, have access to medical care without worry, decent schools, decent wages etc. What's wrong with that
