They're full of shit.
How many of y'all have been in a church this week. The last month?
Notice anything greatly different when it comes to issues of the day? I haven't. And in the last 30 days, I've been in four SBC, one Pentecostal, one RC and one Episcopalian. Only one of the Baptist churches had anything to say about politics. That's about an average number...You listen to six or seven sermons, and something political will come up in one of them.
Christians (or Jews, Muslims, Hindu, etc.) may not be of the world, but we certainly live in it. I have no problem at all with an occasional, pertinent Biblical reference to a current political situation.
See, these idiots who write articles like this, want their religious people to be little cowering worms in an isolated political corner, never interacting in anything political with the general public, never influencing politics nor political policy. I haven't made up my mind if they're aghast at any religious person actually voting for what they believe or they're scared shitless that too many of them will...
