Great article. We all need to be reminded that our primary citizenship is in Heaven, even in politically-contentious times. This world is not our home, indeed.

However, I do have to agree with the previous commenter. Many informed Christians (myself included) are not political conservatives and did vote for Obama last month. Abortion and marriage are important moral issues, but so are war and poverty, where the GOP is weak, morally-speaking.

Not all the readers of this site are republicans, and some of are very pleased with the outcome of the election. You shouldn't assume. Also, your use of the word "informed" to describe the subset of Christians who were "disconcerted" by the results of the election is insulting. I am opposed to abortion and homosexuality because of my Christian faith, but I also know that my ballot is not cast inside the walls of a church. Out in the world, I live by the example of Jesus Christ who taught us to love all people, treat all as you would want to be treated yourself, and not to judge our fellow man. People are entitled to equal treatment and the same human rights across the board, regardless of who or what they are. They may not meet the standards of the church, but that is not the point. We have a clearly defined separation of church and state in this nation, as defined by our founding fathers, and to objectively honor that separation, we have no right to remove rights based on religion.
