We are in agreement.
However, am I correct in that you agree with mixing the two or not Fester Chugabrew, Your comment seems to lead more away from participating?
I mean i agree about where our true kingdom is, but you never quite stated your stance.
Participation in Christ necessitates participation in political realm as well, because all things are under His hand. But do not be surprised when your neighbor believes it is incumbent upon all to part from personal wealth for the benefit of strangers. Politics and religion are mixed so deeply in our land that we tend to suffer for a short while. I don't know about you, but I see bad guys all over the place, yet each one perhaps scheduled for repentance and faith at the last hour, and thus being first instead of last.
I vote pro-life above all, because life is what God is all about, both temporal and eternal. I also live in the sure and certain hope that Christ was put to death for our transgressions and raised again for our justification, and therefore no matter how screwed up things may seem to be, the powers and principalities of this world are defeated already, so we can laugh them to scorn.

On the contrary...
The birth of this nation is the perfect example of why men of God should be directly involved with governments (politics).
It is evil men who turned our government into the cesspool it is now, and it’s the apathy of christians today which allows it to continue.
Let us not forget God’s admonishment of US... the christians:
2Ch 7:14
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Point being, we can’t blame the liberals for the mess we are in.. only ourselves for not standing up for God.
Hell yes we should be participating.
This nation is doomed because we have not.
