What point did I miss about churches wanting their leaders to be more in touch with the society that they live in?

I know the Bible quite well if that's what you are asking, and that's what I go by first. Then I look at the Constitution. After that I consider years of political experience.

When I gave up on the religious forum, you were there arguing about doctrine. What could you share with me from the Bible that would justify voting for such a proabortion, pro-homosexual agenda, pro-gun control candidate?

Probably just as much as you could share that tells me you shouldn't vote for such a candidate. Get me the Scripture that tells us how to vote and we'll start from there.

I am an Evangelical, pro-life, Christian conservative and I am unashamedly supporting Rudy.

Now you and others in your judgemental attitude may, as someone did upthread, tell me that's a "sin."

But after years of political activism for socially conservative causes I have realized that I am fighting those battles in the wrong arena. I've marched up Capitol Hill, but I did far greater good by going to the local Crisis Pregnancy Center and folding laundry or running the vacuum than I ever did on Constitution Avenue.

When I look at the current list of candidates, and I look at the issues that are most crucial to our survival as a nation, I see Rudy emerging as the leader. Was he my first choice? No. But my first choice imploded.

I could accept several (not quite all) of the other choices. And I will support the eventual nominee.

But those who seek to judge my faith, my committement, my conservatism ~all because I support a candidate they don't like ~ are severely mistaken and are consumed by a judgemental attitude for which I can find far more Scriptural condemnation than I can for voting for the "wrong" candidate.
