I think the greater issue in our political system has less to do with democrat verses republican and more to do with corporations with money verses the poor or middle class populations of our country. Our politicians are not servants of the people as much as they are slaves to thier contributors. Now, all politicians slip something in that is good for all people but for the most part, politicians have a job because of the money they recieved from corporate America. It is all about the money. Therefore, the power is not with the people on the right or the left but with banks, oil companies, etc...
Therefore, I think that Christians, and churches, should be more involved in politics. Not in the arena of democrat verses republican but as a place for those who do not have a voice anywhere else but in the church to speak out. I beleive in seperation of church and state as long as the state is doing their job for the all of God's creation.
Anyway, the stereotype that is most given to me is that I am not really a Christian but a humanist.
