Christians have abandoned politics. And millions are DYING because of it.

Christians have not been losing in the public square because we do not have the arguments to respond to the New Moral Revolution of the Cultural Left. We have been losing because we have not been making those arguments, or have not been making them articulately enough. We’ve often bought the laughable lies that morality simultaneously does not exist, and cannot be legislated. Both of these lies are simply a means of keeping us from fighting for what is right in the public square. In many cases, we’ve vacated the battlefield. It’s time to engage like never before—because as we see with abortion, assisted suicide, and euthanasia, lives literally depend on it.

Perfectly stated!

First, Christians are told loudly, we can’t legislate morality.

All of our laws are based on The Decalogue.

Well...a lot of my fellow Christians didn’t want to pull the lever for Romney.

BUMP!

I still say we lost a lot the day Jerry Falwell died.

In retrospect, NONE OF US should have voted for Romney.

Romney is the architect of Obama's agenda.

I agree with the writer’s thesis regarding many Christians buying into the “you can’t legislate morality”, and I’ve also heard many Christians say that getting involved in politics is unGodly and unChristian, that the world is gonna do what the world is gonna do, that “it’s all gonna burn anyway”’ and now, I am also hearing “well, God is working all,of this out according to His will, He is in control” (sort of a Calvinistic fatalism).

Yes, but the choice we had was better than what we’ve got.

The article assumes that you are dealing with a rational being and that your arguments will sway Liberals/Progressives/Atheists. It has been shown many times that Liberals/Progressives/Atheists are anything but rational.

Discussing anything with Liberals/Progressives/Atheists is like trying to put a cloud in a box.

I would only add that many, many pastors in churches across America have been almost shaming their congregations into silence.

Following the success of the "Moral Majority" as a cultural and political force, and particularly after the AIDS epidemic, church leaders have chided congregations into silence by agreeing with the Left that all public opposition was hateful and that we should show compassion and love.

I recall hearing over and over how people with AIDS were the modern era lepers ( a completely false analogy). I recall hearing how we should not focus on one sin (homosexuality). I recall hearing how unruly, condemning and lacking in compassion Christians had become in their war against the homosexual tide.

And now, as a result, for the most part the church is mute and homosexual "marriage" is legal in nearly all fifty states. Christians were told to basically just disengage politically and culturally and work to show compassion instead of shining the light on sin. As a result, many people obeyed and pulled up tent stakes and let the darkness begin to overwhelm.

And here we are today. The church is silent, cowering in the corner, fearful of being labeled as un-compassionate, non-Christlike, and judgmental, and millions upon millions of souls will now face eternity apart from their Creator as a result.

No, it wasn't.

There is no difference between Romney and Obama.

I realize that you're new here, but this is a CONSERVATIVE forum, not a GOP fan club.

[rrrod]

Yes well said....but far too many social conservatives have themselves to blame for others being “turned off”....
Sometimes we cannot take yes for an answer.........

Was he on that plane with Buddy Holly and The Big Bopper?

All of our laws are based on The Decalogue.

1) Really??? 0bamacare is based on The Decalogue? Seems to me it's based on VIOLATING The Decalogue.

2) The Decalogue is a code of MORAL laws. Yes, you CAN legislate morality.

[Resettozero]

Yes, but the choice we had was better than what we’ve got.

You are in agreement with the elite leadership of the Republican Party. Perhaps we will have a chance to vote for Romney again in 2016 or 2020.

You can’t have a debate with a leftist on campus. All they know are shallow memes and fabricated narratives.
They have to silence you.

Yes but HIV and AIDS are still around. You can’t escape from natural consequences.
