"Jesus said that we are to render to God the things that are God’s and to Caesar those that are Caesar’s. Our Caesar is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. In order for us to render to Caesar the things that are due him, we should indeed participate in our government. Our Lord would have it so." ~ Adrian Rogers
"I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend." ~ Thomas Jefferson
Comment Policy
1. Speak the truth in love Comments containing untruths and misrepresentations will be deleted unless we think it more important that they be corrected by dialogue with other readers of Politics and Christianity.
Truth is not always pretty, and attempts to clarify can sometimes be cutting (e.g. satire, irony, etc.). However, every attempt should be made to keep comments within the bounds of Christian civility.
2. Don't use words that your Momma wouldn't like Comments with abusive, blasphemous, coarse, crude, dirty, disrespectful, filthy, foul, godless, impious, impure, indecent, irreverent, nasty, obscene, profane, raunchy, sacrilegious, smutty, or vulgar language will be deleted post-haste. Euphemisms and abbreviations of an ungodly nature are included in the preceding list.
3. Stay on-topic What you are saying may be very interesting, but it will probably be deleted if it does not relate to the post on which it is appended.
4. No drive-bys Comments that appear to be cut-and-paste propaganda, rather than attempts to dialogue, will be deleted.
5. Don't assume too much Sometimes we will respond to your comment and other times we will not; so, (a) do not think we are uninterested in what you have to say if we do not respond, and (b) do not assume that we agree with someone just because we do not respond, -- we actively practice both Proverbs 26:4 and Proverbs 26:5.
6. Publish your ideas instead If you have more than a few paragraphs to share on a topic, consider submitting it to the editors of Politics and Christianity for publication as a separate article, rather than as a comment. You can submit articles for consideration to editor@politicsandchristianity.com.
7. You retort, we decide There is no board of arbitration on the issues cited above. The editors of Politics and Christianity are the final authority on what appears here.
