[QUOTE="TG123, post: 39060626, member: 154099"] Amen, brother to almost everything you said. I don't thing Christians being politically involved is necessarily a bad thing, but we need to follow Jesus and reject political ideas and practices that contradict His teachings. That would make a person really unpopular with both the 'left' and 'right'. I believe it would mean calling for an end to abortion as well as the wars being waged in Afghanistan and Iraq and other covert wars like in Somalia. It would mean saying 'no' to tax cuts for multinational corporations and the super rich as well as refusing to allow the secularization of our schools and society to continue. It would mean doing away with a lot of things that both 'Republicans' and 'Democrats' hold dear. I also don't believe that either America or Canada are or ever were Christian nations. Our founding fathers displaced, ghettoized and murdered First Nations peoples and owned slaves, and fought with other imperialist powers over land we stole from people who our countries really belong to. Politically, as Christians I believe we need to spread the Gospel, and live out our faith by working for justice and peace for all the people around the world and in our homelands who our governments have hurt and continue to hurt, Cristo Vive! - Tomasz [/QUOTE]
