Mod, I really do understand what your saying. I do. I just choose not to vote for someone who has a different moral base. I believe we are expected to live out faith, and never compromise on it. It starts with babysteps, and before you know it you’ve lost the farm. I’m just one person, though–obviously not a majority,. I can’t make much difference one way or another. I simply like to make my views known.

Sarah: You are right. Being Christian is 24/7. However politics is not.. The fervor that we bring to our Christian beliefs needs to remain in the church. This does not mean we abandon our prinicples. It means we resign ourselves to the fact that politics means getting along with people that may not agree with everything we believe in. The sacred/mundane distinction is what gets me through all of this. Pray hard at church. Work hard to extend my hand in politics.

Peggy, Sarah, how does all this apply to the original topic of this post “Republicans Prepare for Gubernatorial Primary”? Glad to see you can have such a civil discourse even when I’m not involved.

Secular life and christian life. Gees, and all this time I thought being a Christian was a 24 hour responsibility, not just when it was convienent for me… It’s nice to know I can actually pick and choose when I want to follow God’s law. But really..no, I don’t think so… It rubs me wrong when people make excuses for their behavior–like, “I want to win so I’ll just ignore what’s right.” But hey, if you cheated on tests in school to look smart why change your spots?? Beng wishy-washy really shows a high level of commitment to your faith.

Well, yeah, but a “nice diversionary tactic” at the least.

Peg, as we’ve learned what to expect as being usual, you _do not_ have it straight. You are really stretching to see any suggested restriction to either freedom of religion or to freedom of speech.

And I might add, I perceive that you seem to be working _very_ hard to present yourself as a paragon of Christianity. Kinda smells a bit pharasaical.
