Is there such a thing as Christian politics? Yes. And I think it's gone too far. I personally think that the Republican party has become a religious party. People are voting for republicans because they think republicans attend church more and are more faith based.\nMaking decisions based on faith without fully understanding a situation is dangerous in my opinion.

Quite possible since thay both head up tyrannus administrations.. one being government, the other monotheistic religion. Not much difference there.

Politics and Morality are both relative terms.\nUnfortunately for us, they both happen to be totally unrelated to each other !

The answer is yes.  Evangelical Christianists are deeply effecting our politics.  It is detrimental to freedoms and liberty, but it is healthy in politics for them to participate.\n\nThose that disagree - and I'm one of them - need to do their part to counter them.

Politics is simply the exchange of ideas for the betterment of the community.  Kinda like a football game of ideas.  Some teams are really good for some folks, some teams really stink for some folks.  Sometimes there are ties.\n\nThe problem is that the political games never ends and the two sides shakes hands and get a pizza together!

nahh.\n\nNot all so-called Christians are close-minded jerks.  Some of us have brains and don't vote on party lines just cuz the Bishop tells us to . . .\n\nKeep the faith.  Keep using the brain God gave you.

The operative word in your question is "political" not Christian. Men and women of all faiths have done some horrendous things in the name of sovereignty and national elitism. They may claim whatever body of belief they like, be it Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, etc., but that doesn't excuse their decisions nor does it justify them. The fact that they often brandish their religion is in my opinion a cheap attempt to sway people who think more in terms of "I must protect one of my sect/creed/faith" than in terms of whether the action is morally right or wrong and whether said action should be condemned and the party who committed the offense made accountable for it...\n\nUnderstand, I'm not saying all acts of war or espionage are avoidable, nor should all of them be avoided even when they can. Sometimes it is necessary to begin a police action or sanction a country or take part in a war, but the leaders who take that action should be held accountable for their decisions and their outcomes. Leadership whether elected, given or seized comes with responsibilities and whatever choices one makes one will be held accountable in the end. That is one precept that all religions and faiths hold in common. Your actions & decisions will be judged, so you might as well take responsibility and make atonement where necessary while you can.\n\nPS: kohala889 - If to lead is to put oneself above others, and self=Satan then God was advocating sin when he placed the Judges over Israel to lead and rule them, as he was telling David and Solomon and all the of Kings of Israel & Judah to sin when He set them up to rule. Since these leaders were appointed of God and ruled His people in His name, and since God cannot sin and will not ask a man to sin in His name as a result it is not leadership which is sinful, but the choices a man or woman makes with regard to his/her use of that power which may be sinful. Once again it is man's flawed ambition not God's design which leads to the sin...

Because of politics and religion.

Actually, the answer could be yes. Because politics have a way of "dividing" people and groups, the way it divides is the key element.\n\nPolitics may include the struggle between the wealthy and the poor; or it may be divided by geographical location; and it can also include the division of the religious or not.\n\nThe whole purpose of politics is for political power to create, support and enforce new ideas or legislation. But as said before, "how" politics is run is determined by the way people play on the role.

Religion, maybe. Relationship No!\n\nChristianity is a liberating, horizon widening, life giving relationship. Some would say that Christianity is a list of rules but it is not. If you look ay Jesus' words He said that there are only two rules - 1) Love God. 2) Love each other. Simple, eh!\n\nBecoming a Christian is as simple as taking a pill. Three steps in taking a pill; 1) get the pill, 2) take the pill, 3) have a glass of water. Three steps in becomming a Christian; 1) realise that you are a sinner and need a saviour, that you can't save your self, change your mind about sin 2) Realise that Jesus death on the cross paid the penality for your sin so you don't have to, 3) ask Jesus to forgive your sin
