You have got to be kidding. I have nothing of which to be ashamed. Any poster who claims to be a Christian, then supports a candidate who despises religious conservatives and espouses ideals antithetical to Christian values, then puts up a biblical quote condemning those who deny Christian values all the while supporting aforementioned candidate and insulting those who do not, IS WORSE THAN A HYPOCRITE.
Take the beam out of your own eye cyn and mind your own business.
God in Politics
Daniel and Joseph both held political roles and both stood firm against
personal compromise. However, there is a distinction between personal
and political compromise. Day to day politics cannot be conducted without
some form of compromise being involved. People living in a society as
complex and diverse as ours will have conflicting interests, and part of the
task of Government - not just of the country but of smaller units such as the
family too - is to reconcile these and promote the common good. Spend
some time discussing the difference between personal and political
compromise:
Personal compromise is about choices we make based on our sense of
morality. One of our principles is to be truthful, and if we cross the moral
boundary and tell a lie, for whatever reason, we have compromised our
personal principles. Daniel and Joseph were both men who found
themselves in positions of political power and yet who were not willing to
compromise their beliefs and lose their integrity, despite the risk of
persecution.
Political compromise has a different emphasis. When we live as part of a
community, we must make choices that benefit the common good. We
make such decisions the whole time, for example in deciding what to have
for a family meal. It is impossible to live as part of a community and not
compromise on a daily basis. Can you think of some other examples where
compromise is necessary? Edmund Burke said: "All government, indeed every
human benefit and enjoyment, every virtue, and every prudent act, is
founded on compromise and barter; we give and take; we remit some
rights, that we may enjoy others."
The issue of coming up against personal compromise may tempt us to
withdraw from society. However, this is not the solution. Instead we need
to play an active role in making sound, value-based decisions that do not
compromise our personal morals, but allow room for common goals to be
achieved.
