If Christians were to start a political party - what be its stances?
Could there be a party which is big enough to encompass the vast different ideologies that Christians hold?

I have been thinking a great deal about this - what would a truly pro-life party look like? Can politics even be wed with the Kingdom?

And if there could be a new party- what would that say about some our petty denominational differences - or would it show the world a unified Christianity where it counts - in the lives of people?

I picked up this link from a great blog with a link to this article.

I agree with most of the assessment in the article - one aspect of "life" cannot be divorced from the others. But what I am seeing though is that much of what we call America is built on a faulty ideology to its core. So whereas I agree with Dr. Stassen about the pro-life issue -we simply however cannot say abortions went up with Bush therefore I am going to vote for Kerry. I mean do we really think that Kerry is looking out for the people as well? I do applaud the Dr. who wrote the article for living out a Christian ethic consistently - maybe the entire church should as well... but would anyone vote either Democrat or Republican then?

I am not the biggest Bill O'Reilly fan out there - I do listen to him some - but this is crazy. What do you think?

Roman writer Juvenal wrote in 100 A.D. about "panem et circences - 'bread and circuses' to indicate how the Roman state looked after the population through material plenty and endless entertainment. Such economic plenty must have caused many to believe that life could not be much better." - Capturing the Pagan Mind

Interesting thought - what does that remind you of? The similarities between Rome and the U.S. are staggering - not just coincidence, huh?

Bread and Circuses? Mcdonald's and Hollywood?

Is it me or is anyone getting tired of the race card being thrown out whenever someone is just incompetent or not getting their way? Here is an article about Sharpton and how the liberal "white" media is giving him disrespect. I don't know what media he is talking about but the one I am familiar with would not dream of dissing blacks - unless the democratic party had a better chance of getting elected with a white man. We all know that basically the liberal white men of today are all about power and exploit blacks and other minorities to get elected. So get over it Sharpton - ever thought that your own party has politics too? OR what about qualifications - the civil rights movement as King and others knew it is dead. All that exist now are guys that are perpetratin' a myth to make money.
