"I have heard it said 'Do not bring religion into politics.' This is precisely where it should be brought and set there in the faces of all men as on a candlestick."

As long as it is Christian...Probably a safer proposition back in the day...
I wish he would have used the word "Christianity" instead of "religion" but I know in his day it was synonymous. Sadly not so today. Our Christianity must penatrate every area of our lives or it is not Christianity.

I love this quote Kathy!
Nancy, it must have been too early in the morning when I first replied to your original comment. After re-reading I decided that my comment was not relevant in that I did not understand what you were saying. You're a great communicator, but early in the morning, I just didn't catch it. (saying all this in case you see I deleted my original remark).
I'm with Susan and Nancy-yes I wish it were clearer that Christian was stated, and not religion. But agree that in his day it was synonymous.
Susan, when I originally wrote this post, in its pre-publish phase, I was writing how I see as Christians that we can no longer separate the waters topically based on interest in a subject or lack thereof.(I don't like the heavy-footed dogma of so many that give no one else opportunity for discussion however). Because of the delivery of people very passionate on various subjects, I often will stear clear of those people. Not because I'm not interested. I just like breathing room for thought in these discussions.
For the Christian, we have to investigate and know where we stand, and then TAKE a stand.
Our old church(before election) was devided on this very issue. I believe that the Church body should know where the Church stands on issues, ecspecially on moral and Christian issues. Thank You for posting this.
