Where do conservative Christians go from here?

[Torog]

I was not sure if I should put this in politics or religion...Can it go in both?

Even though I do not agree with all of this article a lot of it makes sense. I would like to hear others views. *Attention:Psycho, Torog and Ozark I am really interested on your opinion here please.

If God is on the side of conservative Christians and conservative Christians are on the side of the Republican Party, shouldn't Republicans have done better in the recent election? It's difficult to keep a coalition together â?? Christian or not â?? if 12 percent of your base votes for Democrats.


But defeat offers conservative Christians a good opportunity to take stock. They should ask themselves whether their short list of "moral issues" and "family values" has any hope of being imposed on Washington, as culture continues to resist the approach many of them have taken. Could conservative Christians withstand another approach, one that reflects a more biblical strategy? click below to read the rest

**** I really like this statement from the article: Politics often dulls the senses to morality and "values." That's because of an unholy alliance between people of faith and politicians that often ends in compromise on the part of the faithful and the cynical harvesting of their votes with little offered in return.

*****this is good too: Conservative Christians are fond of quoting God: "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord" (Isaiah 55:8). Could it be that the way of politics is man's way and, thus, not God's way?

I am looking forward to your thoughts.

Howdy BlueCat,

I think that it's pretty obvious where conservative Christians go from here..they continue to fight the good fight..and oppose and reverse,the decay in morals,the daily murder of over 3000 un-born children,each and everyday and excise from their midst,those who claim to be Christians,but are in fact--evildoers.

Conservative Christians,will remain steadfast in their fight to protect,defend and preserve,family values and American ideals and traditions.

Have a good one ! :jointsmile:

Who is to say one persons "family values" are anymore right than the next? Keep your religion out of politics or we will, in the end, be just like the Middle East ourselves.
