I will bear up without your approval. I shared my thoughts not to attack but to share. I have been on this site for many years and come to it often in these very disturbing times. I share links from here to a group of like minded souls every day.
I agree with all the positions you listed in your post vehemently. That doesn’t change the fact that I don’t like the way Cruz is mixing politics and religion. No problem with religion but I believe it is a personal and private force, fine to pray in public, fine to credit and to praise, but not really thinking it will unite the country to suggest that campaigning for Cruz is doing G**’s work and will succeed if we wake the Christ within us & others.
I know you’ve been here for a long time.
I’ve read many of your post.
The ONLY sentence in your original post that I intended to take great issue with is....
“I think religion and politics don’t mix well.”
I was reminded of this quote.
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
John Adams
I don’t want Cruz or anyone else as president to be the “religious authority” of our country.
But I believe it is important for a president whether Cruz or Trump ( I am not questioning Trumps beliefs), to have a commitment to the constitution and the moral and religious values our country was founded on.
