Because Christianity is the only right religion - and God commanded us to have some simple morals be applied to the government, so it's the government's job to push those morals on you.  Republicans believe those morals more often than Dems., so liberals get angry.

Let the angry comments begin...
Our government's supposed to be secular (and Christianity isn't the only "right" religion; people can choose whatever the hell they want to believe)

Well from one Christian to another, we can't push our views on others. Did Jesus push his views on others? No, he simply told them want he believe. God created humans to have the will to choose the paths in their life, whether it is right or wrong. Having the Government controling what morals to push on the people is a very bad idea, because you can get someone in power like Hitler, then what? The fact is we have free will to do what we want when we want.

There's a difference b/t morals and clear commands that God wants to government to legislate.


The fact is, you want to push our views on others and that is wrong. You tell them and show them what the Bible says, plant the seed, God will do the rest. We do not go around pushing veiws on non christain, because 99% of the times that pushes them away from God.
Here's the truth.

I remember while I was in Jersey, there was this Chinese Christian fundie who tried to convert me. What really bothered me was her complete denial of scientific discoveries, her sheer arrogance, and her sheer stupidity (I remember her saying, "you and your cousin have similar DNA, does that mean you're descended from her?") Not to mention she'd get so CORNY in trying to convert me ("BUT ZOMG THESE PSALMS GIVE ME STRENGTH WHEN I'M SAD!") Even when I made it perfectly clear I wouldn't convert, she just didn't get it until I told her, "I DON'T CARE." She pretty much killed any chance of me becoming a Christian.
