You may be right, but as we are all trying to be "relevant" in God's kingdom, I view it in the same way. We can't look back to "sawdust" floors and all night prayers meetings. We have to deal with now. What do we do now?
I can't NOT vote because I don't like everyone's view. As Ferd said, "We need to keep the eye on the ball."
I'm just seeing more and more people looking toward the church, any church, and I know everything is going to be all right. Being raised Catholic I had a huge awareness of God which led me further, so I don't dismiss the faith of any person.
I keep going back to faith, because when the curtain is drawn - it's all we have.
I'm going to do the best I can, vote for who represents me best and try to come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of Christ.
If I don't turn my face to this purpose, I'll be swallowed up in despair.
