An excellent blog especially in light of the political season that we just went through. You should read it all, but the take-home quote from Irwin is this:
But what I learned from this experience is that if you’re a Christian — left or right, it doesn’t matter — and if your religious convictions lead you into political activism,do not bring Jesus into it unless you’re prepared to let him shape not only the causes you support, but the way you go about it — and above all, the way you treat your political adversaries.
