I wrote a similar sentiment recently in a couple of posts that I’d love for you to check out. You can find them here.

Fear drives this compulsion to force agreement. May Christ’s love compel us to do all things for His glory and Kingdom.

[...] Christians, it is an issue that many use to judge the faith of fellow believers. As I said in a previous post, a vote for Obama is a vote against Jesus, in the eyes of [...]

I’ve been reading here for awhile; I first came to your website a few years ago to read your take on the Ezzos which was very helpful for me. I’ve kept up with what you’ve had to say about the upcoming election. I would never be so foolish as to judge your relationship with Christ; that is between you and Him. I just read an article on mommylife.net by Huntley Brown called “Why I Can’t Vote for Obama.” I immediately thought of you. He articulates very well why many of us Christians cannot vote for this man. You’ve explained on your blog why you support Obama; please read that article to understand why I and many other Christians cannot. I’m sure you’ve been subjected to some ugliness by others who call themselves Christians. Please understand that that goes both ways as there are many who have been called racist simply because we do not support him. Thank you for your time.

Thanks for the comments, y’all. It’s nice to know that I’m not the only person who thinks this way!

Glenn, I wanted to point out that there have been vicious comments from young and old alike. The interesting thing about those who have been especially ugly on Facebook is that with only one exception they are all both associated with our church and with the local Christian school.

You are not the first person to assume it is youthful exuberance, but I will tell you that I have over 300 Facebook friends, about 1/2 of whom are college age and below. NO other friends on Facebook are behaving in this way–at least not that I have seen. Somehow the others are showing more self-restraint, even though they may speak passionately about the candidates and the issues. They are able to do so without attacking others or assuming ill-intent. Also, it is not only young people - there have been several adults involved either in the ugly comments (and emails), or at the least supporting those who make those remarks.

I find the whole thing very disturbing…obviously.
