The separation of church and state is as much to protect the church from politicians as it is to protect the public from a takeover by power-tripping preachers.

I think that Christians should stay out of politics, and not vote. After all, Jesus made it clear that his kingdom is not of this world. He told his followers to seek first the kingdom of god and his righteousness. If purported Christians followed this commandment and learned to love others, they would not have the time or inclination to get involved in these worldly matters.

The left are a literal death cult full of demon worshipping vampires.

Is Salty a member of that sect that makes the woodburning stoves, carriages and bridles? I've heard they don't have time for or the inclination to vote.

I am not 100% certain about the Amish. However, the Mennonites are voting. They are both Anabaptist sects.

Three guys from Dartmouth saw that churches were great political vehicles in the Civil Rights movement and decided to that the GOP should target churches. Their first success was in developing "ringers" to get control of church organizations by parading as moderates. The first major success was at the Baptist Convention in Mississippi. They developed an approved reading a movie "study" and would do it in the South with pretend early showings of Gods and Angels clips. They tried to take over the casinos but were less successful in that. We yet again see mainstream churches experiencing schisms. So DL, politics is successful when it can hijack religious organizations, but when those organization start to impose their Biblical or Koran interpretations on entire populations and enrich themselves in the process, it's BAD. It seldom turns out well as history documents. Those of us who are not political hacks want freedom OF religion to practice our faith and be the captains of our soul. We do not want your fundamentalist nonsense imposed on us and we do not like that you have all but hijacked the GOP. I pray you do not succeed because you will find yourself in a dictatorship that will likely tolerate you as long as you submit to the chosen Dear Leader.

Would you please describe fundamentalist nonsense so that I will know what Mr. Gardner is imposing?

10:20—-The Amish don’t vote because they consider themselves to be subjects of the Kingdom of God, not of this world. They realize that they have no business getting involved in worldly matters such as politics.

When I scan such think pieces as this post, it always leads Me back to this Clip. Rust Cole said it best....and His comments are timely as They could apply to any Trump rally

Fundamentalist nonsense examples are that women must be subservient to men. That a man, no matter how morally bereft should make decisions for the family including picking the church one attends. Nonsense is life begins at conception even though not all sperm are successful so contraception that prevent the egg from being fertilized are to be banned. That there in only one way to interpret the Bible and live as pleasing in God's eyes.. If that were true, there wouldn't be different religions and different Protestant denominations. There have been some real doozies like women not cutting their hair or wearing any makeup or letting any part of their leg to show. I don't know here DL places Mormons, but that's a can of worms on its own. I'd be happy if every church actually supported not being a " false witness" and rid themselves of " false prophets". And, I 'd be particulary happy if churches who claim Christianity focused on Jesus' Sermon. You know DL, the one on the Mount.

A new low for Daniel?
