I got to disagree with this somewhat. I do not know about shunning but I would be very likely to vehemently oppose Nazis for their political beliefs as I would even simple Eugenicists and Communists or any one that espoused any form of a totalitarian system. Add to that Theocracy( which can be a particularly odorous form of totalitarianism) a political belief system that I would not feel the least guilty for verbally lambasting anyone that espoused it. So I believe it is warranted to call out and verbally castigate people that hold political positions that I consider to be totally abhorrent. Such behavior toward people that merely have a different POV than my own and propose different solutions even solutions that I think will not only not work but make matters worse is not acceptable IMO.

Good point. I completely agree.

I don't intend to get sidetracked into a debate about homosexuality or premarital sex. The bottom line is that Christianity doesn't belong to conservatives, and that it shouldn't be a Republicans only club. If we say that God's grace is open to everyone, then the church should be open to everyone also. Nobody should be excluded or silenced because they don't toe a particular political line.

The bottom line is that only you are claiming that it is a "Republicans only club" or that it only belongs to the politically conservative. The church is open to all and I have never met a single person who says otherwise.
