CNN Saddleback Debate: danger mixing religion & politics

For that, you would have to ask the church, or research for yourself. [considering you're the citizen "journalist"]

But from what I've read of it, they don't seem to include the bombing of countries nor a century long war. Although I suspect your government is already doing a good job at that on its own. Again, I more than welcome INTELLIGENT discussion on this matter. These criticism are here to help you, I'm not one of those people who criticise without reason.

1 - make your video, make it intelligent too

2 - asking the "church" is not really possible

3 - my guess is that most of Saddleback's congregation supported the war in Iraq and voted for George Bush (probably twice - 2000 and 2004), because, as you correctly point out, Orange County is wealthy/rich and Republican.

1 - Make any sort of video? =)

2 - I've done it on several occasion for a University report over here, and they were pretty nice about it. You'd be surprise at how nice some Christians are.

3 - I doubt everyone who adhere to the Christian religion all vote the same way, I don't think that can happen to a church of 23,000. Yes, OC is wealthy, and about 50% are Reps. Now, are these 50 saddleback members? Quite Possibly. Are there Democrats who goes to saddleback? Quite Possibly =)

1) ANY video - but make it intelligent

2) Most of the Christians here are nasty and awful (most of them, particularly those in the South and are white) -

they like war and violence
they support torture
they hate foreigners (Mexicans esp.) and African Americans
they hate homosexuals
they couldn't care less about the poor..

:)

you'd be surprised at how awful they are :)

1) I did, mostly for class projects, but it doesn't fit within the data limit of youtube. =)

2) That's interesting + horrible, and it's the exact opposite of what Christianity is supposed to be [I think]. =( I have many Christian friends over here from NZ, Australia, but some are American and are very nice ^^

3) Thank you for the correct information, I used the archive from OCvote, and my result of 55 percent was from the 2000 gen, but I went back and saw that 2004 was 60% Wow ^^

BTW you are wrong about Orange County - it is overwhelming Republican:

It voted Republican in the last 5 presidential elections

1988 Bush41
1992 Bush41
1996 Dole
2000 Bush 43
2004 Bush 43

Based on this record of Orange County voters, Saddleback Church is probably, at the least, 60% Republican; more likely - because it is an evangelical church - 75% to 80% Republican and conservative.
