I agree with Songbird. No matter WHO is in the office, they will need our prayers.

Corrine:
It is like the saying: I can say what I want to about my family, but if someone else does, they are in for a heap of trouble.
Don't let this election fool you. We are one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
It may seem like that but attack us and see how united we are.

Ok, you have asked repeatedly for reason BIBLICALLY not to vote for Bush.
I will give a few. And by the way, everyone of these is also apply to Kerry.
Ex. 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Deut. 5:9 Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
(in case many of you don't know, Bush has admitted a drinking problem)
Prov. 31:4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink:
I could go on and on but I really don't have the time today.
But in case you get discouraged, remember that God is in control of all.

Actually, no I haven't. I asked for a Biblical reason for the CP policy of isolationist withdrawl of support and help.

It's up to everyone to decide for themselves what constitutes a genuine Christian faith. You can call George Bush a "Sunday School dropout" if you like. Personally, if I talked to someone who professed to be christian but said that there are many ways to heaven and that Allah and Jehovah are the same god I wouldn't consider them to be a christian. I don't believe that that's being judgemental. What Bush said is a significant enough deviation from my faith as a Christian for me to me not to recognize him as a Christian at all.
Theological error is sin but I doubt that theological error is enough to disqualify someone who repents of his sins generally and trusts Christ in particular. Compared to God we are all theological idiots. I think that you could kick someone out of your church for saying that Allah is God when we all know that Allah is Satan, but if that person's church did not kick anyone out for being confused on that point, I think that all we could conclude is that the church in question is sinful on that point.
But then I think that the pre-tribulation rapture doctrine is error.

Agreed. Being a Christian means that you have a relationship with Christ, and the Holy Spirit living in you.
Could I claim to personally, intimately know someone, for years, who weighed 130 lbs., had blonde hair and brown eyes, and mistake them for someone who weighed 280 lbs., and had red hair and blue eyes?
Your conclusion would be that I lied when I said that I knew the person.

There is a difference between saying:
"Your vote is a test of your Christianity"
and
"There are biblical principles that should guide your vote".
