This obsession with whatever candidate the two political parties are marketing this week or next misses the bigger picture. Our primary job as Christians is not to act as unpaid support squadrons for one or the other of these politicians.

The media hacks and paid political professionals are having a good old time watching us in the act of cannibalism. The same guys who were talking up Huckabee as an alternative to a seemingly presumptive Giuliani nomination four weeks ago are now trashing the former Governor left and right, as though they were ignorant of his record this entire time.

It's refreshing to read posts like yours because so often I come across self-professed conservative Christians or "Evangelicals" who seem to believe that it's OK to engage in scandal-mongering and crude character assassination, so long as it's against "the other guy."

We are called to be salt and light, not tools of a sensationalistic, self-interested media, whether it be liberal or conservative.

“We are called to be salt and light, not tools of a sensationalistic, self-interested media, whether it be liberal or conservative.”

If our Lord were to return to us today, would Christian conservatives focus on that, or on the minutae of the latest election?

This obsession with secular politics borders on idolatry.

Thanks for the nice comment.
