Obama or not (and this is no endorsement of Obama per se), don’t you think it’s time we got rid of the fake “Family Values” crew? Shit, the fact that he says “I cant enforce my own religious views on another” makes me want to vote for him - this is the US and A(see above)

I don’t identify with “Republican” or “Democrat”, but FFS, ANYBODY but the current band of liars, thieves and murderers is prefereable

i DO NOT want to butt heads with you on this Shane, but this is wayyyy more imporatant

if jesus ran for office, how do you think he’d do? and would we want jesus running the political machine anyway?

barack’s not perfect, but i like that he’s trying to work within a context that he understands to be pluralistic- acknowledging religious pluralism is not necessarily supporting its truth claims (or lack of), but in my mind it’s merely a recognition of where society has been for quite some time- that a plurality of religions, philosophies, and corresponding epistemologies are already coexisting.

perhaps my favorite book on the topic is the gospel in a pluralist society by lesslie newbigin, a british missionary and prominent christian theologian. it’s on my bookshelf if you want to borrow it…
