3. It is interesting to me how being raised in a certain form of Christianity...

can bring a person to view the gospel through the planks of the Republican Party...gives new meaning to the text: "You fool, first get the plank out of your own eye..."

I was raised a Christian too; but our emphasis was always on the need to defend personal conscience, extend compassion and empathy in view of our own need of the same, and work to keep religion and politics safely confined within there own spheres.

Huh... :shrug:
