Yes, I do think it involves Politics, as I don't see a reason in heaven for Politics not to be connected with Christianity, for a Christian doesn't turn off their religious beliefs when going to school or is referring to politics or even the state of the roads or the weather. Life is not immune to sin, nor immune to religion. There is a supposed Secular disconnect with Religion (Secular/Sacred dicotomy). Everything IS Religion, just depends on if it's false religion or The True Religion (Christ). So many Christians have voted for Bush this election cycle, and wouldn't vote for Peroutka because of [various reasons] connected with criticising his Christian life, and saying that Bush was the better candidate. Yes, criticizing a Christian brother as not good enough since he claims Christianity fuels his life, and blindly turning to Bush who only says he is a Christian and shows that he divorces that Christianity from his Politics. In fact, he shows that his Christianity is nothing special, there is more than just one way to heaven ... Christians refuse to see that, or his pro-war stance, pro-death stance in abortion. The Christian way is to refuse murder of every kind, punish evil. Defend our borders but not go after defending other's borders, as is being done right now. Empire building, foreign entanglements ... Sigh. Kim, good connect.

For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.</i> Could this include politics, do you think? It seems that the majority of my christian brothers and sisters are ignoring the truth when it comes to our leaders. They'd rather believe our president is pro-life even though his record says otherwise. They'd rather believe he's fiscally conservative when he's proved differently. They'd rather believe he's against the homosexual agenda when he's shown over and over again that he is sympathetic to gay issues. It's crazy. I’ve been thinking on the Scripture:

2 Timothy 4:1-4
