I am becoming increasingly frustrated with our seemingly binary culture. Who has convinced us that there are only 2 options, and that they are extreme opposites? And who decided that compromise is only for sissies? When did dialogue (multilogue?) turn into multiple concurrent monologues? And why has Christian activism been reduced to hoping that we yell the loudest by turning out the most voters? Whatever happened to sitting down and working towards ideals that we can all agree on?
This is my perspective on religious involvement in government: instead of attempting to legislate the moral code of our own religion on the entire nation, we should work together with representatives of every major belief system in our society (including atheism!) to settle on a set of laws we can all approve of. Anything that can’t be agreed on by a consensus probably does not belong in the laws of our nation.
