“Never discuss politics or religion in mixed company.”

January 6th, 2006 · 1 Comment

At least that’s what those of good breeding would do.  I, on the other hand, would not.

Above Average Jane has an interesting proposition for the blogging community to be posted on MLK day (1/17/2006).  What effect does your spirituality have on your politics? 

In an effort to explore the connection between religious faith and politics, if there is one, I am asking bloggers, especially political bloggers, but others are welcome as well, to post an entry on or around Martin Luther King’s birthday (Monday, January 16, 2006) discussing how their beliefs, if they have any, impact their political inclinations, voting behavior, and what candidates they support. What suggestions would you have for the party of your choice, to reach out to and connect with the party faithful. Perhaps we will see consistent threads among the postings that will give some idea what issues resonate. Perhaps not, but we won’t know unless we try. Please consider posting something along these lines. If you aren’t sure what such a posting would look like I am providing links to two posts from late 2005. One is philosophical while the other is more personal. They are not given as templates for people to follow but merely to start the conversation.

I tend to only think of faith in a negative way, but this is a worthy subject…I’m in.

    thanks!! I think it would be interesting to hear from those across the spectrum of beliefs, including those who believe they have none. ;)
