I couldn't agree more with what you are saying. Each camp is trying to polarize themselves against the other, but they fail to bring forward what they stand for - just how rotten the other one is. Diana's comment on the "lesser of two evils" is so accurate and disturbing in a way. For once in my adult life, I haven't a clue where to go or who to vote for as neither support my beliefs.Kim Harrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04758138511729138569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859685997884961389.post-82204198992877555662008-10-14T15:21:00.000-07:002008-10-14T15:21:00.000-07:00I agree....as in the article on Scott's blog sugge...I agree....as in the article on Scott's blog suggested.......I think we should cast our vote after much thought and prayer for God's will. Also, it suggested (and I agree) that we should think as global Christians, and not just about how the elections effect us and our country.<BR/>I have had much concern over the church getting so involved in the politic's of this country, how can we as Christians align ourselves with any candidate that speaks and encourages so much hatred? What about what the bible says about us loving one another? <BR/>Being a child of the 60's, I thought we had come so far....I'm so disappointed to realize that we have not, and it seems that the church has not either!!! WOW....is what I have been saying through this entire election year!!!Debra D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15591169135041890607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859685997884961389.post-85339853269864050122008-10-14T13:04:00.000-07:002008-10-14T13:04:00.000-07:00I am so with you Bruce.

Christians (and the church community in particular) should ALWAYS commit to being a prophetic voice in our culture. A church community that alligns for or against any particular candidate has lost hope for such a prophetic voice. We should ALWAYS stand for truth and NEVER align with evil. While I do not belive that either candidate is "evil" I understand the sentiment of "lesser of two evils." Since we are to choose between a "lesser of two evils," the church should not be found on the side of either.

While I'm not a supporter of Obama (nor am I a real strong supporter of McCain), I don't like the anti-Obama camp compares him to the anti-christ or calls him Barack Osama. Unfortunately, politics has come down to a 'lesser of two evils' scenario in so many ways, and there often isn't a great answer.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04774305925059440209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859685997884961389.post-83511748667597328652008-10-14T08:25:00.000-07:002008-10-14T08:25:00.000-07:00OK its me updating this post...

Our votes should be cast with that somber responsibility in mind. Our votes should be decided by a prayer for God's will, not for our party-line.<BR/><BR/>Post your thoughts. Mine are so cryptic and in complete.epic brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17858692771223682407noreply@blogger.com
