Isn't there a verse in the bible about a fellow spilling his seed and god did him in with lightning or some such god like thing?

I spill my seed all over the place and even though I've been through many thunderstorms, god has missed me every time.

ok, let's try looking a few Obama tax stats:

From Wikipedia (note that neither figure is actually cited so I don't know for sure if this is accurate or not)

Obama has proposed a tax plan which includes an $80 billion tax cut for poor and middle-class families and repeal the tax cuts for the richest one percent of taxpayers. His tax plan calls for billions in breaks by nixing income taxes for the 7 million senior citizens making less than $50,000 a year, establishing a universal credit for the 10 million homeowners who do not itemize their deductions -- most of whom make less than $50,000 annually -- and providing 150 million Americans with tax cuts of up to $1,000. Persons making at least $250,000 or more would pay payroll tax on their entire income, as opposed to the first $102,000^[51][52] and would see their capital gains tax increase from 15% to 20-28%. ^[53] Obama spoke out in June 2006 against making recent, temporary estate tax cuts permanent, calling the cuts a "Paris Hilton" tax break for "billionaire heirs and heiresses."^[54] Speaking in November 2006 to members of Wake Up Wal-Mart, a union-backed campaign group, Obama said: "You need to pay your workers enough that they can actually not only shop at Wal-Mart, but ultimately send their kids to college and save for retirement." His tax plan would bring in an additional $700 billion in taxes over the next 10 years.

Here's my reasoning: Obama wants to cut taxes by $80 billion dollars per year (at least, I assume "per year" is implied here) and at the same time, he will put $700 billion additional dollars into the coffers over the next ten years. Now, look at it again, he's cutting $80 billion in taxes per year, and only adding $70 billion per year. So, if he's elected, we start with a $10 billion increase in deficit spending. Next, we add in his huge national healthcare overhall, his subsidies for renewable energy, his big increases in NASA's budget, and a few other perks. The question is, where is he going to get the money to pay for all this stuff if he's starts out by increasing the budget deficit by $10 billion per year? Answer: My wallet.

lol. Well, you aren't spilling your seed so that you can have kids to your name in the afterlife, are you?

(for the benefit of those who aren;t familiar with the passage) In the Old testament, if your married older brother died childless, you were supposed to take his wife and have kids so the older brother would get kiddies to his credit in the afterlife. What happened here was the oldest brother died and the younger brother didn't want to give his brother kiddies in the afterlife, so he "pulled out" of the arrangement so he could have kids of his own in the afterlife. and God killed him.

Trying to apply all the wacky Old Testament rules to a modern day setting is an exercise in futility.

@ bold

Actually, that's the point I'm making; that's what your method would inevitably lead to.

And I'm not saying the Bible is a legal document, I was just pointing out the inconsistencies that can arise between what Obama says and the Bible says (and whatever else I had been saying).

Any Christian who believes everything in the Bible believes that pi is 3.00, that every animal on earth (including every parasite, and every insect species we have YET to discover) fit onto one boat, that people can live for over 700 years, and that demons constantly infect people.

So if Obama doesn't believe in all those things he is not a good Christian?  Your inconsistencies are greater than mine.  The point is that a person's Christian beliefs and their social policy do not have to be the same, and probably shouldn't be.  They should follow social policies that they think are best for the country, not just themselves.
