A brief plea

[adderslj]

Folks,

I know many of you are very upset by the election result, but please bear in mind that "Christian" and "right-wing Christian conservatives" are not synonyms.

Thank you.

I'm beginning to wonder why I bothered.

I agree with you.

Not all Christians think like those politicians, which is point I was making in the first place.

No, no. My apologies - I obviously did a poor job of communicating what I meant. Our points were the same: I know that not all Christians think that way, nor would they try to legislate their faith over those they'd been elected to lead.

The point that I was trying to make was that anyone who entered a political position when he knew his own belief systems might not enable him to either lead impartially or would force him to try and overlay his faith over those who aren't interested in such are inherently unethical.

It's not Christians I distrust, brother - its politicians.

Regards,
Joseph
