About Me
June 2, 2006 — thoughtfulconservativeWaukesha conservative. Born again Christian evangelical. I have lived in Wisconsin since 2002. I like sports, technology, TV and movies. History, religion, science.
More about me
(Preliminary. More links and information may be added later)
For myself, I am a Christian and I am conservative on most things. I vote my values and these come from my understanding of what the Bible says. I believe if everyone did that the world would be a better place.
But I have always had the tug between politics, which I like, and Christianity which I would like to minister to others. Although I wouldn’t go as far as Mark Daniels does here, I am certainly aware of what my responsibilities are as a Christian.
I would not consider myself a social conservative on every issue. I am aware that not everyone in America agrees with my particular point of view. In fact, I would say that no one agrees with me on everything. There are homosexuals in America. Although I believe homosexuality to be wrong and see the degradation of the tradition of marriage as unfortunate, I don’t believe in enacting laws to perpetuate that tradition. I consider divorce wrong also, but I prefer to persuade people rather than enact laws to forbid people from divorcing, if that were even possible.
I like politics. That’s why I blog and read and watch TV and listen to radio. But my purpose in being engaged in politics is not to impose my Christianity on others in a hurtful way. Or in a way that they don’t have a choice. This is probably complicated for others to see. I am not seeking to convert America to a theocracy or revert it to a Christian nation. Nor do I believe most Christians want this.
Many of us, however, do long for the days when we could leave our doors unlocked at night, when you knew your neighbors, when crime and drug use wasn’t prevalent, etc., and we wouldn’t mind going back to those times.
But, of course, that’s impossible. And maybe that feeds some of our frustration.
Politics is my hobby. But I don’t believe politics will not solve the problems of the world. That can only happen by a life-changing experience with Jesus Christ.

Hi,
The Compete.com blog has a two-part series featuring a look at where visits to presidential candidates’ websites are coming from. The intensity of visits is mapped out across the US, showing which candidates are getting the most interest in which states. We would be delighted if you want to write about this post. It’s an interesting way to look at who is doing well in the race thus far, please check it out.

Thanks a lot.

you reviewed Bible and government. Maybe you should review the author. Google John and Lesle Cobin, google John Cobin and criminal domestic violence, go to Greenvillecounty.org judicial and clerk of court and see all the lawsiuts he has against everyone. And try to get a copy of his US supreme court motion to have his first amendment right to view pornography reinstated as the family court denied this ( he is in a divorce from wife number 2). He is a fraud.

I always find it interesting how some one must tell the world they are a Christian. We even have a Home Builder in the area that advertises a Christian based company but they feel they can use tradesmen dollars and not pay them on time from construction draws. Christian Based theft. If one is a Christian they need not advertise it , just live your life like one would.

Well, I state it here to let folks know “about me.” Your example shows that not all who advertise themselves as Christians act like Christians.
