A brief theological question.......

[evaluna]

I attended a few different Christian churches as a kid, I even played piano for the offerings. My husband is Catholic, but as he is from Mexico, it's a little different than the Catholicism practiced here in the US. I have taken my kids to different churches to expose them to the idea that there are so many options out there. I, myself, do not/will not identify myself as belonging to any sort of religious group. Nor will I identify myself as belonging to any political party. And for the same reason... which brings us back to the question, does your religious view influence your political views? DEFINITELY. If the popular figureheads in Christianity wanted to spin things in favor of the Democratic Party, they most certainly could. For whatever reason, wink wink, they spin it in favor of the GOP. I believe that belonging to either compromises your ability to reason and think for yourself. As soon as you sign up for one, you have to defend it and will begin to see things the way that your party leaders/religious leaders want you to see them. No, thank you, I think I'll look at all the information (religious and political) and choose for myself.
