Blah blah blah....this author misses the big picture: the coming Evangelical Exodus from American politics. Right now, evanglicals are perfectly comfortable being part of society. But there will be a day when they will decide they can no longer be part of society. Right now they care who wins elections, but soon they may decide that being part of the system is not worth their time and money.

Says who? Are evangelical Christians a cult? I think not.

Paul Weyrich said the same thing three years ago, yet the evangelicals are still around, it seems.

I don't know you very well, but regardless you make a very provocative point.

"Withdrawing" is certainly becoming more and more a worthy direction as secularism is ugly and dark and politics is a cesspool.

Many of us love our country very much but not more than our God.

"the coming Evangelical Exodus "
If we Christians leave politics, it will be like what happened in Germany in the late 30's. One day, we will wonder why the boys in the jack boots are making us take mass showers.

"Right now they care who wins elections, but soon they may decide that being part of the system is not worth their time and money."

So they will lose their saltiness.
