You have confused some of his POLITICAL Activism .... with being a POLITICIAN.

He said he was staying OUT of politics, not "I won't become a politician" to concentrate on the gospel. He flip flops.

Did Falwell run for office like Sharpton ... I'm not sure .... We need to define politician as opposed to political/social activism ... which you describe Dr. King so accurately.

Christians involved in politics is as old as the Protestant Reformation ... the American Revolution ... Civil Rights movement,
etc.

You've allowed your political views to skew your view of reality ... Prax.

I believe he did in the 80's, if I recall correctly. I could be wrong though. I may have my memories mixed up.

Why do you automatically assume that's what I might feel to do just because I presented the other side of judging someone's eternal destiny?

Who has said as much regarding the other? You are the one who started the whole child's finger-pointing game.
