"When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice, but when the
wicked beareth rule, the people mourn."
We can all reckon with the last half of the verse, but how about the first
half? Who is the righteous in this situation?
What do you do when you
don't want to vote for ANYONE on a ballot?Remember, you can vote 'against' someone, when they are the lesser of
two evils.And good news:A vice president is just an unfortunate accident away from being
president!
Like Evangelicals, there
are others in mainstream religious circles today who stand for much of the
moral principles of the Bible that we stand for. Catholics, for example, are
often good politicians with Biblically conservative values on social and
other issues. Mormons also fit that
bill.I share your concerns
about Mormonism in many ways, but I must admit that we share many
fundamental principles, morals, and ethics.
Judeo-Christian values are
what made America
great. We have freedom of religion,
which means a Mormon can practice their religion and can become President.
And freedom of religion means anyone
can wear the badge of "Christian", even if they in no way practice it and
are 'chummy' with Islam. Fact:the last 2 presidents who were 'Baptists' were hypocritical democrats
that I was against.
Our loyalty should be to
principle, not to denomination. Denominational
loyalty is what we left
England
to escape.
An example of the balance
here:If put into the situation
someday, I would choose an honest Mormon over a dishonest person who calls
himself Christian.
