Mixing Politics and Religion

Remember the old advice, don't mix religion and politics?

Well, I am here to tell you that you had better mix your religion with your politics because politics involves moral choices.

Now, at the onset, let me make it clear that there are some moral choices that are personal, either on an individual basis or between two consenting adults. That, of course, includes one’s sexuality; again between two consenting adults. Marriage license and tax laws, of course, are effected when the State sanctions same sex unions. Naturally, as an Evangelical minister, I believe that Scripture is adamantly opposed to homosexuality and the gay lifestyle. And, no, I am not homophobic. However, I have come to the conclusion that we do not have a exclusive right to the use of the English language; so, if States decide to call same sex unions marriage there is not much I can do except object and protest against the use of the word to describe such unions.

There is, however, a world of difference between the legality of certain aspects of the gay agenda and nurturing such beliefs in innocent children as an viable choice. Scripturally, it is not a viable choice, ever. Paul, as a matter of fact, says that it is unnatural; which it is. Intuitive, nature itself argues against it; yet, gays and gay sympathizers continue to search for that elusive “gay” gene. The truth is, however, that gene not unlike evolution’s “missing” link is simply not there.

Enough of that.

What about “pro-choice” when it comes to abortion rights? I agree that there should be a choice; but it should be the baby’s choice, not some immoral adult that has decided that a new member of the family or a child would cause an inconvenient burden or interfere with their hedonist lifestyle.

So, “pro-choice”? Yes. But, let’s make the baby’s choice, not some ungrateful parent.
