Quote: Not all christians are happy with the direction our leadership has taken this country. My feeling is that there will be a realization in the church that neither of the two major political parties are representing the biblical principles that christians value.
But doesn't that then suggest that they want a party organized around biblical principles? What would such a party look like? Which Bush Administration policies are the moderate Evangelicals currently unhappy with?
Anyway, lets continuue. I was appreciating this thread untill the mud slinging. Its not christian.
Yeah, I did suggest that there is that underlying want or desire but I didn't intend for it to sound that way.
I think I was referring to those politicians and organizations who claim to be God's chosen that are then found to be not at all what they claim, or hypocrites. I don't think a party that appeals to christians has to necessarily trumpet its christian ideals. All it has to do is represent itself and its constituents in such a way that is just and fair to all and is consistent not specifically with biblical principles but rather with sound moral ethics. And the beauty there is that they tend to be the same if biblical principles are not perverted.
Your other question. The Iraq war believe it or not presents several ethical dilemas for many christians. Many churches have been noticebly silent on this issue. The Catholic church though has been one of the more vocal bodies to condemn it. And many other christians share their concerns. Theres much more but I'll leave it here for now.
