Well, the Democratic convention is over and Barak is no longer the "presumed" candidate. And John McCain has picked his running mate. Next week the Republicans gather for their convention.
I had a further idea on Faith and Politics that I need to post. While I do not want to discuss politics, and by that I mean which candidate I might prefer, I feel compelled to discuss the issues. It is important for us as Christians to care about the issues that face us. The war in Iraq, the environment, racism, the economy, abortion, second amendment issues, etc. The issues are important and it IS important to vote for the person or persons who can best deal with them.
What I don't want to do is argue about candidates when the issues are more important. I have a healthy distrust for candidates, no matter what they might want to say about the issues. But what I do care about is to be clear in my mind and heart how I think and feel about the issues.
I will be glad to talk about the issues, to debate them, but not the candidates. I'll make up my own mind about how I'll vote on November 4. I hope you will too.
May God guide the electorate and have mercy on our country.
