               Recently,               as               an               American,               I've               noticed               that               we               are               at               another               point               of               rising               attention               to               religion               in               politics.

For               full               disclosure,               I'm               a               registered               Republican,               a               Christian               who               religiously               participates               in               a               Southern               Baptist               Church,               a               graduate-school               educated               businessperson.

On               the               political               spectrum,               I'm               a               moderate               Republican               with               Libertarian               leanings.
               Here's               why               I'm               disappointed               in               my               "church               friends"               and               people               that               I               see               every               Sunday               looking               at               the               Republican               primary.
               The               first               issue               that               I               see               hurting               Christians               in               politics               is               abortion.

Abortion               became               legal               due               to               a               Supreme               Court               ruling               about               privacy               and               the               rights               of               women,               in               1973.

Abortion               has               been               legal               under               the               presidential               leadership               of               five               Republican               presidents:               Nixon,               Ford,               Reagan,               Bush               and               Bush.

The               last               Republican               president               had               a               Republican               Senate               AND               House               of               Representatives               for               four               years,               and               a               Supreme               Court               that               was               appointed               in               the               majority               by               Republican               Presidents.

Abortion               did               not               become               illegal               for               two               reasons.
               One,               practically               and               legally               speaking,               the               system               has               decided               that               abortion               is               a               legal               right               that               women               have.

You               can               disagree               and               call               the               Supreme               Court               baby               killers               until               you               are               blue               in               the               face,               but               they               ruled               on               the               issue               of               privacy               and               the               right's               of               the               individual.

People               that               think               that               a               president               is               going               to               overturn               abortion               simply               don't               understand               how               the               American               system               of               government               works.
               The               second               reason               is               that               practically               speaking,               it               is               not               going               to               happen.

Most               American's               don't               like               the               idea               of               abortion,               but               most               American's               also               don't               think               the               government               should               completely               outlaw               it.

With               modern               medical               technology               that               has               come               around               since               abortion               was               legal,               people               are               able               to               see               severe               defects               or               issues               that               might               result               in               a               long               pregnancy               that               ends               in               a               terrible,               painful,               few               hour               life               for               a               baby               if               they               don't               miscarry.

That               abortion               might               still               be               morally               "wrong"               in               some               people's               opinion,               but               not               enough               to               get               a               Constitutional               amendment               to               pass               to               outlaw               it.

Let's               not               forget               the               fact               that               nobody               under               the               age               of               40               can               remember               a               time               in               their               life               when               abortion               was               not               legal.
               I               personally               am               against               abortion               and               would               recommend               against               it               to               people,               but               I'm               not               expecting               the               government               to               solve               it.

I               am               also               personally               against               drinking               alcohol,               but               I               realize               that               prohibition               was               a               horrible               failure.

Giving               money               to               help               un-wed               mothers,               and               opening               centers               to               care               for               children               and               help               adoptive               parents               is               the               role               of               Christians.

That               is               similar               to               why               church's               now               often               host               space               for               AA               meetings               and               support               groups               for               other               problems               that               might               be               legal               but               "bad."               Making               Christianity               attractive               to               scared               unwed               mothers               is               the               role               of               the               Church.
               However,               holding               protests,               and               using               a               litmus               test               that               every               person               who               runs               for               political               office               must               react               explicitly               against               the               last               four               decades               of               established               law               is               not               solving               a               problem.

Some               people               might               disagree               with               my               earlier               assertion               based               on               history               that               the               "president               can't               change               abortion"               and               that               is               fine.

But               I               don't               understand               why               in               the               election               of               the               local               school               board,               or               the               city               council,               why               people               feel               the               need               to               have               an               explicitly               stated               stance               on               whether               abortion               is               legal.

I'm               pretty               sure               that               in               the               grand               scheme               of               things,               how               the               local               "district               5               school               board               member"               feels               about               the               legal               status               of               abortion               isn't               going               to               change               anything,               but               I               get               fliers               that               have               that               as               one               of               their               top               5               platform               issues.

How               many               anti-abortion,               Republican               politicians               have               we               elected               that               have               been               caught               in               affairs,               and               relationships               with               boys,               or               stealing               money               or               participating               in               all               kinds               of               corruption               that               got               the               endorsement               of               their               local               Church               simply               because               they               were               "pro-life"?

I've               personally               visited               family               and               had               been               to               a               devote,               small-town               church               in               mid-America               and               had               a               certain               Congressman               stand               up               and               give               an               anti-abortion               speech               about               the               "evils               of               Washington"               two               weeks               before               he               was               outed               and               resigned               after               having               an               affair               with               a               staffer               in               his               district.
               The               next               issue               is               what               I'll               call               "wanting               the               government               to               love               religion,"               which               covers               things               like               "prayer               in               schools."               I               recently               heard               a               missionary               from               China               explaining               to               a               group               of               American               Christians               how               good               we               had               things               here,               and               some               people               expressed               a               sentiment               of               "Well               yeah,               it's               good               now,               but               in               a               few               more               years               with               the               government               hating               religion,               we'll               be               like               Europe."
               This               made               my               head               hurt,               because               the               Protestant               Reformation               and               the               Catholic               Church               basically               sprang               out               of               Europe.

The               Vatican               holds               a               status               similar               to               Washington               D.C.

in               Italy.

Many               European               nations               have               an               official               state               religion.

As               a               college               student,               I               traveled               to               Denmark,               which               is               a               Lutheran               country,               and               people's               taxes               go               to               support               the               Church               and               it               is               government               endorsed.

Virtually               nobody               in               Denmark               goes               to               Church               on               Sunday               and               the               culture               is               far               more               secular               than               the               United               States.

I               went               into               at               least               five               of               the               largest               churches               in               Denmark,               and               they               were               museums               run               by               the               state.


               Let's               face               it,               a               government               getting               wrapped               up               in               a               religion               is               just               one               way               for               religion               to               become               more               corrupt               than               it               already               is.

Look               what               happened               to               our               healthcare               system               with               the               creation               of               medicare               and               suddenly               electic               scooters               that               cost               over               $20,000               dot               the               front-door               steps               of               carports               in               Florida.

When               I               turn               on               the               news,               and               I               heard               about               public               school               teachers               molesting               children,               the               last               thing               that               I               want               is               that               teacher               to               have               been               mandated               to               lead               those               kids               in               prayer               each               day,               or               to               be               the               one               to               explain               the               10               Commandments               to               them.

I               don't               follow               Islam,               but               I               do               know               that               the               Islamic               Church/State               regimes               that               have               risen               in               places               like               Iran,               have               brutally               corrupted               their               religion               to               abuse               their               people.

Christianity               has               been               used               that               way               in               the               past               if               you               look               at               European               history.
               I               write               this               not               to               promote               a               political               idealogy,               or               to               suggest               that               Christians               are               hypocrites               or               anything               like               that.

I               write               this,               because               as               a               Christian,               I               think               that               people               mix               politics,               patriotism               and               religion               into               one               bucket,               in               a               way               that               is               dangerous               to               their               faith               and               religious               interests.

I               think               Christians,               like               anyone               else               should               vote,               but               I               think               they               should               do               more               than               consider               the               denomination               or               the               most               recent               pandering               of               whatever               politician               has               a               name               on               the               ballot.

Bill               Clinton               and               Jimmy               Carter               both               at               one               point               claimed               the               same               denomination               that               I               belong               to,               and               that               wouldn't               move               me               to               vote               for               them               one               way               or               the               other               especially               with               the               benefit               of               hindsight,               so               why               would               pick               a               future               leader               that               way?
