I don't go there when it comes to religion and politics as well, but this year seems to be especially "in your face" when it comes to the election and politics. I'm a little jealous that your religion preaches not to vote. I'm frustrated in finding the perfect candidate...<BR/><BR/>You are very brave and I don't plan on going anywhere. :)kspinninghttp://kspinning.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33139994.post-10385967151217814612008-10-07T10:40:00.000-05:002008-10-07T10:40:00.000-05:00I wish you would be more vocal about your faith and religion. I think it is fascinating to hear about people's spiritual roots and how those play out in their lives. The conviction to not vote based on your faith fascinates me and I have been wondering about it ever since you commented on my one and only post on politics.<BR/><BR/>I thought I knew all of the various Christian denominations- you have taught me something knew. Thank you for that!Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05528541804521203406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33139994.post-3346795885213402502008-10-06T21:55:00.000-05:002008-10-06T21:55:00.000-05:00Why is it so easy to be vocal about anything except our faith? <BR/>I've never heard of your denomination before and am reading more about it.<BR/>Thanks for putting yourself "out there".<BR/>I'm still your friend.angeljoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03182429028607924847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33139994.post-49020181583075407582008-10-06T12:36:00.000-05:002008-10-06T12:36:00.000-05:00wow. i am impressed.<BR/><BR/>with jen and with you for your response. and doing so in such a respectful and clear conveyance.<BR/><BR/>Thank you.gwendomamahttp://gwendomama.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33139994.post-63733647580944063212008-10-06T09:26:00.000-05:002008-10-06T09:26:00.000-05:00Hey! I'm proud of you! It is hard to blog about these kinds of things, in fact, I never do. Good for you!Kylahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03311014761113076785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33139994.post-35819530647257627602008-10-05T21:59:00.000-05:002008-10-05T21:59:00.000-05:00this is a bold post and one that takes allot of courage to publish. I've stayed away from politics because of my church too, but from the standpoint they are famous for being too involved. unfortunately, the issues and beliefs are so tangled it's hard to know what's really best. I'm voting in this election, but it's a matter of the economic situation that motivates me and not my faith. Thanks for posting this.Ronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11609041651482395857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33139994.post-67770492651004704642008-10-05T21:42:00.000-05:002008-10-05T21:42:00.000-05:00I'm still here! (You pulled me away from my blogcation, since I was concerned you would think I deserted you over this post, if I didn't comment.)<BR/><BR/>Can you still be my friend if I'm a content and committed Lutheran girl, who has a great tolerance to the other religions? (I love to learn about other religions, as long as you promise you aren't out to convert me.) ;-)<BR/><BR/>This was a great post, and like you, I don't get into politics on my site. I may mention my religion occasionally, but I never "preach" about my beliefs.<BR/><BR/>I have friends who are Mormon, Jewish, Muslim, Catholic, Baptist, Jehovah's Witness, etc... Do I agree with every one of their beliefs? No. But I respect them, as long as they respect mine. And frequently, I enjoy finding similarities in most beliefs. I'm just so surpised I hadn't heard of this one, and had to go read more about it.<BR/><BR/>So, if you want me as a friend, I'm still here. Just know I'm doing a bit of a bloggy break. But I'll be back later, with more comments. Give me a couple of weeks, okay?RCRamblinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01359346974903610134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33139994.post-20115055433295626012008-10-05T21:07:00.000-05:002008-10-05T21:07:00.000-05:00Can I tell you how much it tickles me that I tagged a conservative christian? Honestly, I can't remember the last time I was so giddy over a meme. Yay! I'm glad you were brave enough to put this out there. <BR/> <BR/>And I'm not even scared of you. It takes more than a little political talk to scare me away. Hee!<BR/><BR/>You don't own a gun, do you?JenKhttp://followingtheroad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33139994.post-53541599200659590602008-10-05T20:07:00.000-05:002008-10-05T20:07:00.000-05:00You're getting tagged again tomorrow.
