looking over my late night rant i feel a need to make sure one thing is clear. i by no means am advocating the absence of politics by Christians. we should be standing up for those who are voiceless, powerless, poor, etc.. but when people sit on a side of conservative or liberal and decieve, conspire to push an agenda.. this is not Christian.. and at this point is where you cross the line into idolatry.
overall i am still hashing out these thoughts, certainly welcome your thoughts.
