Politics…

Most christians I know are very staunch supporters of the politicians with “values” they are extremely supportive of new laws that support a “christian” world view and attempt to liberally apply their morality to the laws that govern our lives.

MY problem is that I don’t expect the “world” (the masses of un-saved) to act like christians. I expect them to act like people that are lost- (as in hey! where’s the map!)

anyways…. My struggle is that God has never insisted that ANYONE!!! act like a “christian” or even civilized!

so… why would christians… attempt to force their morality on people that God himself has not asked this of?

the result … in my opinion has been only increased hostility to christians… a very unproductive method of  gaining new believers!

I know and  fully expect to be flamed after this post… But I see lots of christians being politically active and spiritually inactive!  if they would throw their energy into the relationships around them. the result would far exceed what they can accomplish politically.

I find it absolutely frustrating that many christians have done such a great job at becoming the very Pharisees that Jesus shook his finger at over and over!

The whole concept of christianity – of accepting Jesus-  is completely based on free will. How can  you say that you represent christianity if you deny someone the rights that God does not deny them?? ( to be as evil as they choose)

Now I am not so naive as to believe that government will not make some decisions that will legislate morality, it is a necessity for the world to work. But to even assume that America is a “christian” nation anymore thus the legislation of morality is necessary, is the very definition of naivete!

OK it is 1 am and I could rant for a while but need the sleep. More on this later…  Hey! who knows I may disagree with myself in the morning…
