AMEN BROTHER!!

Recent election results have broken me of the notion that politics is any substitute for the salvation of society. Indeed, the worse government becomes the stronger people of The Way of Jesus become.
Bring it on, Pelosi. Government must be experienced for the evil that it is.

I want it clear that my previous post was NOT a call to refrain from politics. Christians are called to steward God's creation; part of that is our form of government. I just get annoyed at all the time my Christian brothers spend worrying about stuff like the Ten Commandments in public places.

In other words, I'm perfectly happy with just, secular rulers. They cannot affect my relationship with my Savior or shut me up about the good news. It's not their job to make it easy on me and it's not the place of the schools or the supreme court to instruct my children about religion.

Of course, that's why we homeschool--I regard the government schools as actively hostile.
