No, I know the article is in the religion forum; but the particular thread of conversation I’m following is about the political ramifications of faith, not about the religious ramifications. We were discussing whether a political candidate should attack the religious beliefs of people who had conservative political opinions and would be expected to vote for them, simply because the candidate disagreed with the religious beliefs of the voters.
My opinion is that in the political arena, we should not reject the help of those who hold a similer philosophy to ours, even if they have different religious beliefs. When someone shows up at a pro-life demonstration, I don’t ask them if they are Jewish, or Catholic, or Mormon, or agnostic.
And when I was in a local republican committee, I didn’t pick religious fights with people at the meetings. I find that attacking someone’s religious beliefs in a non-religious setting is not conducive to achieving political results.
Then quit complaining about the opinions of others, Charles. Your lectures grow very tiresome, and have been so for several years.
Try starting your own thread if you see your opinion as so very important. Expound fully on your "Kumbaya" policies for those who just want to "get along".
This Kumbaya stuff is the reason the country is in the shape it's in now.
I'm not aware of anyone right or left, who is trying to throw out Mormon or Muslim votes for their side, but when it comes to religion, Christians have issues to discuss.
Where was that?
