Why shouldn't we?" Interesting point! I do think we need to do both--but what struck me about the quote was that we often, IMO anyway, do get frustrated that the rest of our society does not have "Christian values" and may put the cart before the horse. Eek, bad old cliche. Well we need both the cart AND the horse.Dorcas (aka SingingOwl)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15626748280614018533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13173725.post-71211346275249861622008-10-11T07:48:00.000-05:002008-10-11T07:48:00.000-05:00I think your question "But is legislating morality...I think your question "But is legislating morality the best way to influence our nation and our world?" is intended to be rhetorical, but I will respond anyway. <BR/><BR/>It is not our best way, but it is one way of influencing our nation. People with many crazy agendas work the political system to impose their values upon us. Why shouldn't we?<BR/><BR/>That being said, I too am tired of electioneering. I don't watch debates and turn off all political ads or discussions on tv or radio.<BR/><BR/>I hope all the people praying for God's will to be done in the election will continue to pray for the person whom God chooses to lead this nation, whomever it shall be. <BR/><BR/>I sadly doubt they will. <BR/><BR/>This is my political rant. Hopefully I got it out of my system in this safe place!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
