Insofar as religion promotes inclusion of and benevolence toward all members of society, the influence of religion on politics can be seen as a good thing.<BR/><BR/>Where we run into trouble, I believe, is where religion promotes exclusion of minority (or majority) groups, and then moves out into the political arena to impose those exclusions on society as a whole. <BR/><BR/>I believe that the Holy Spirit works to bring about changes in society through the transformation of individuals, rather than through legislation, and that Christians are responsible to obey God, the leadings of the Holy Spirit, their own consciences regardless of what the law says. (I am confident that the Holy Spirit does not lead us into violence or hatred; not everyone may have that viewpoint.)<BR/><BR/>So, generally, I'm in favor of religion's avoiding politics, if I must pick one option or the other.Lizl Bennefeldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15077478910048500379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34219264.post-15418749801154205592008-11-07T21:44:00.000-05:002008-11-07T21:44:00.000-05:00As I get older, I have begun to think that religio...As I get older, I have begun to think that religion ought to avoid politics as much as possible. When I was younger I thought that religion should be as involved in politics as possible. I read different meanings in scripture when I was younger vs. now that I am older. <BR/><BR/>Most recently, I think that I find that Jesus's lack of interest in having anything to do with changing Romes politics has led me to believe that we shouldn't be so worried about what our government is up to. If given the chance, we should voice our opinions, but the church does not live or die on the basis of our political decisions. The church can survive in an oppresive political environment as well as a supportive one. It doesn't much matter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
