I am glad I am ...Sorry this is so late in response.<br />I am glad I am not the only one who hears the warning bells when politicians throw around Christian rhetoric. <br />I guess what I struggle with is --yes our government tries to keep politics and religion separate--but I am not suppose to be compartmentalized. As a Christian, my faith must inform all of my attitudes and decisions, how I vote. But I am not sure there is one way to vote as a Christian.Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13871113199862816451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185657362594066158.post-70386490673329167302010-10-03T16:16:13.498-07:002010-10-03T16:16:13.498-07:00Great post! You are right on both points.
Church...Great post! You are right on both points.<br /><br />Church and politics are scary bedfellows, and I for one have become almost oppositional when I hear people throwing around Christian rhetoric in the political arena. All my warning bells sound, and I wonder what the politicians real agenda is that he wants to lure me in on "values" rather than proposed policy.<br /><br />And on the other side, no you can't legislate morality. Attempts to do so are the ugliest times in church history. Christians have not only murdered those of other faiths, but other brethren in the Lord whose doctrine or politics were out of favor with those in power.<br /><br />Nope, the founding fathers were wise to keep politics and religion out of each other's business.shadowspringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15172112981244682382noreply@blogger.com
