after i wrote that yesterday, i couldn't help but continue thinking about this issue and why i'm so passionate about it.
i recall sitting in sunday school at the first church i tried when i moved to kansas city (and i think, unconsciously, this was when i made the decision to not go to this church anymore) and the person who was teaching tangented regarding the christian's need to be outspoken in politics and blah blah blah. i know i made a face, i couldn't help it. i just...do not agree with that.
i can't help but wonder about the times in past that christianity was a political conviction and not a religious one. it never turned out well.
religion will not purify politics, because people in politics are vastly politicians first and people of religion second. because of that, i believe that the only thing that can possibly happen (at least here, in this country) is that whatever religion will be corrupted, used and distorted for political justification and gain.
how. is this a good idea?
