Thanks to the GOP hijacking Christian voters over the issue of abortion, some Christians feel voting Republican is their only option. And the GOP did hijack the abortion issue: Southern Baptists were pro-choice in 1973. But because Democratic President Jimmy Carter was a Southern Baptist and a Sunday School teacher, the GOP moved to split the Christian vote over abortion. (And to shore up the segregationist segment of Christian voters. If you didn’t know any of this, it’s because they... Read more

Where do some Christians draw the line?

Q: Any ideas about how to convince half of the people I care about not to soak their children in fear culture, not to hate or abuse people who aren’t like them, and not to support the destruction of the world? A: Couple of ideas . . . quote the Bible better than they do. There are dozens of examples of helping aliens and widows and children in scripture.
