[The Urban Sombrero]

Marrying one's politics and one's faith in some partisan love affair is unwise. No amount of excessive verbiage changes that.

The opposition to the principles of Christianity may extend to certain pet issues; however, the freedom to live out one's faith, one's dictates of conscience unhindered...that remains a constant. I have not been forced one time to accept an imposed dictate that violates my Christian scruples and convictions. The idea that equal protection under the law extends to all does not violate my belief that the practice of homosexuality misses the mark of God's high calling. The belief that the human being can evolve into perfection as he/she perfects society is in opposition to that which I believe, but I have never once been forced to believe an untruth.

To defend essential liberty and freedom of conscience against all, secular and church, who would encroach upon it most often offends both sides. However, it is the path that history of church and secular authority shows most prudent.
