to choose men from among

Interesting article on Sen. Brownback. Love his quote:
"I believe the child in the womb should be protected, and that we should also protect the person that's in poverty, and the child that's in Darfur, and working with prisoners so they don't have so much recidivism and always back in the system."
Quite sick of how the bride ties its selfish motives and views to politics. Believers can't agree on translations of the Bible or denominational bents, you think they'll appropriately be able to mix politics and religion? Spend time googling "Why Christians should be Republicans" or "Why Christians should be Democrats" and you'll be apt to renounce citizenship and church membership.

Ultimately, trying to define your political views in the context of your religious views will always leave you open for criticism on some doctrine, or some personally-held view. Debates will never win a soul, and congressional seats will never bring about a baptism. Not saying we shouldn't work to protect righteousness. Just a reminder that winning a soul is far more important than winning the white house.
