I know I've said this before and I also know I'm not really smart enough or informed enough to say much...but I think a big reason why politics have gotten so ugly is because at this point they almost ARE about religion. Used to be they were more about views on economics and such...most people tended to agree more or less on morality.

Now, morality is a huge part of politics. It makes it about good and evil rather than just taxes and allotments and what-have-you.

I think you're right on that.

In one sense, when you look at the War on Terror, it is about good vs. evil. There are those who have no desire to get along with us, they seek to destroy us.

But, I have friends who are wonderful Christians (and are far better scholars of the Word than I've ever been) who are Democrats and who are terrified of where George W. Bush is leading the country.

I know their lives so I don't, and can't, doubt their faith.

I just can't figure out how their brains work to bring them to those conclusions.
