» Brian Tubbs - Values

To All: People generally vote their values - whether they are evangelical Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Muslims, agnostics, or (as PT offers) broccoli-worshipers. People vote their values.

The COURTS are different in that they are SUPPOSED to not vote their values, but rather apply the laws of the land.

The principal lawmaking branch of our government is supposed to be and - for the most part, still is - the legislative branch. The people elect their representatives to make laws. The legislative branch will, by and large, reflect the majority will of the populace - although there are checks and balances in place to protect minorities.

My point in all this is....Evangelical, conservative Christians have as much right as anyone else to speak out, lobby, organize, and vote to impact the lawmaking and policymaking process as any other group. Does everyone agree with that?

What I'm hearing from you is....No. They have the right to vote and take part in their society, but they should leave check parts of their religion at the door of public society. Keep their religion to their homes, churches, synagogues, etc. and only vote, speak out, lobby, organize, etc. in a way that is reflective of the overall diversity of society. That's what I'm hearing from you.
