Elections are a picture example of humanity gone wrong.
Instead of complimenting each other, and attempting to show the general public why you are a good person for the job, Politicians have devolved into simply running disgusting attack ads repeatedly.
Why not simply just point out the good in the other party, and simply show how you are a better fit with your views? No attacking needed, and everyone can leave on a positive note!
I think that as Christians, we cannot just simply 'check our faith at the door' when it comes to anything. God comes first - in our lives, with our families, in our workplace, and yes, in our government. If you are willing to reject Him...will He do the same? If a politician claims to be a Christian, but at every turn wants to put into practice laws that are morally wrong and hurt others - What did they do with their faith?
Our faith is based on Love (1 John 4:8), and Love does not work to harm others (Romans 13:10). If a politician is really proclaiming to be Christian - Why not allow and show their faith to the world in their work?
Apologies for the rant, but I think that these points are long overdue to be seen in the political scene.
