Last week I posed this question:
Should Christians sit this election out?
You responded. Today we take a look at some of those responses with comments from your Bad Christian Laureate. First some thoughts from those who disagree with me.
while he tried to call in the medivac. Two captains from his unit were killed in one day and Tara helped the widows through the funerals.
the other wants to win. There is always a choice and your dad was right and I join you in all caps.
That is the thought process that caused millions to cast votes for Ross Perot and send Bill Clinton to the White House. Did that message result in better candidates? I would argue that the best way for Christians to make a statement is to stay together as a voting block. Nothing would please those opposed to the moral issues that concern evangelicals more than seeing that group’s influence splintered. Please think carefully about the consequences.
Finally, I end with this comment from another reader.
Keep up the good work. We've got a lot in common (early fifties, Ohio native, Reds fan, three sons, sports fan, sarcastic, etc.)
Sarcastic? Moi? Anyone else see that?
More of your comments tomorrow. Keep’em coming.
