I think the pastors should stop preaching politics from the pulpit!!! That is not their job. Their job is to teach the Bible.
Our pastor told us that he has excused himself from political discussions. Either that, or he will go out the room and take off his clerical collar before saying one thing about either party.
The only time I ever heard him say anything about politics was at a non religious event. He was in shorts and tee shirt - the only time I ever saw him like that and the only comment he made was:
“I don’t understand how anyone can go to church on Sunday and vote for a democrat on the following Tuesday.”
It’s not hard to know which party he supports, but that discussion was about partial birth abortion, which he (and I) abhor to no end.
Believe me, if someone would plant microphones in many churches, a number of them would loose their tax exempt status, as well they should.
