I'm always amazed at how Christians break themselves into little 'black' and 'white' boxes. The light of the world, huh? The salt of the Earth, you say? From this angle Christians look a whole lot like everyone else...worse. Why only 1 star: What was the point of these random (meaningless) numbers?

I see both political parties as ungodly, it just so happens that more Godly politicians are Republican. I see many Republican and Democrat alike lying, cheating, self serving and down right evil! Our only hope is Jesus Christ calling his Church home soon!

I find it trully amazing that the poitical debate among Christians in America can actually favour one party over another. So much is said about the 'liberalism' of the Democrats, and in these debates so much vile anger is directed at Democrats, yet the there is su strong support for the Republicans as though they can do no wrong, let alone that the 'right to life' party defends the decision to sent Americans to an unjust war that has cost countless lives. Is there room for politics in Christianity or should we not 'make a difference' within our individual spheres of influence? Should we not be seeking truth and justice within our own communities and in the lives we live instead of leaving that to opur elected representatives who have their own agendas and priorities? By all means vote (in Australia we have to!), but vote according to your own concience, and let others vote acocrding to theirs. Bert.
