While it is hard for many to understand how someone could view themselves as a Democrat AND a Christian, we have to see that just because the more ‘well-known’ representatives and policies that come from that party don’t exactly show the ‘fruit’ of Christianity, doesn’t exactly mean that everyone who considers themselves a ‘Democrat’ agrees with all those thoughts…

It’s true that while the Democrat platform tends to exploit the poor/disenfranchised, tends to be pro-choice, and appears to try to use the ‘global warming’ hysteria so that they can manipulate and fund certain things--the Republicans only appear more ‘Christian’ by comparison (which doesn’t say much).

Some are called to politics and I definitely encourage that but I find that while it’s VERY normal to have strong feelings about the politics, we have to decide whether we are going to be pastors or politicians.  I say that because we diminish our abilities to impact and influence people when we align ourselves with a candidate or a political party.  There are few things as polarizing as politics.  When we put an Obama (or whoever) sticker on our car we GREATLY (sometimes totally) lose our influence on anyone who doesn’t agree with Obama (or whoever the case might be).  The thing is that while politics are important, we have to remember that our primary goal is to spread the word of God, NOT stump for a candidate or hot issue…

It’s hard because we naturally have strong feelings about things like politics, but we have to keep God our focus and the Good News our primary message.  A friend of mine once said, “if you’re identity is wrapped up in anything other than Christ, you’re headed for trouble...”.  I have found that to be true…

It wouldn’t surprise if Hine did say that or something very close.  I think this is also a poor example in an institution of higher learning that a club would not be allowed to be on campus because of certain views that they “might” support or that their party supports.

It’s true that while the Democrat platform tends to exploit the poor/disenfranchised, tends to be pro-choice, and appears to try to use the ‘global warming’ hysteria so that they can manipulate and fund certain things--the Republicans only appear more ‘Christian’ by comparison.

I was thinking of looking up some of them newspaper websites, but am glad I came here instead. Although glad is not quite the right word… let me just say I needed this after the incessant chatter in the media, and am grateful to you for articulating something many of us are feeling - even from distant shores.  Please come visit my site nutrition degree | PhD Psychology

I think it is a great idea to start a club. It would give him a way to get involved at school, and he could meet a lot of people. Plus, this would give him something to do after school (I don’t know what other activities he is involved in), and it would allow him to show his point of view in many different things. Getting involved in “politics” at any age is always interesting, and it could be fun.
