Christians do better to pray for all involved than to pick sides and kill for the interests of worldly powers. It may be that America experienced victories that spared live on account of Christians objecting to combat and praying for all involved.

let me ask you this. If you feel so strongly about it, how then do you participate in the political arena at all?
|
I typically vote Republican I just have this feeling down in my soul that a Republican victory will be very bad for our nation. When it comes to candidates I value honesty and sincerety over rather the politician has checked all the boxes on some test we give them on the issues. I feel Obama (though I definately have some disagreements with him, his church, and even his pastor) is the most sincere of those running. Hillary is largely concerned with reviving American prosperity and perpetuating the Clinton legacy. McCain strike me as a man who is a hireling of corporate lobbyists.
So I feel that I would do best by my own heart to vote for Obama. But...some things do give me pause and as more and more is revealed about all candidates I reserve the right to change my mind. But I'm nearly certain that I will not vote for McCain.
