All of those which clash with the christian view of life, and more importantly, all of those which I do no have yet, but am fighting for.
The common arguement is "that could never happen" - but I see it differently. Life is spent in the progression toward an end. Whatever end you progress toward is essentially your 'goal'. You may never reach it, but your world will begin to take on characteristics of your goal as you progress.
The Conservative Christian way of life is a sheltered, controlled march through our living days. Anti-gays. Anti-abortion. Anti-euthanasia. Anti-drugs. Anti-sex. Anti-deviance. Regardless of if they ever succeed in having their ultimate Christian government, the progression toward it is enough to make me puke.
I'm trying to propose a progression in the other direction, towards a goal where more and more freedoms are given to people so that they may live their own lives how they please without Big Brother breathing down their neck.
As a little aside, I find it ironic that you will find more Christian republicans in areas of spread out residences, where they essentially do have the freedom to do whatever they wish without the authority of the government scrutinizing them. However, in densely populated areas where authority can more easily be asserted, you will find more liberals. Well, perhaps it's not ironic, but an example of struggle.
