I agree with Colson on the hypocrisy of voting, but what I don't understand is the fact that abortion seems to be the ONLY issue on the table for "evangelical americans" this election season. They'll vote for the Republican just because of his stance on abortion... what about the other issues we face today? To me, it comes down to the priority of issues, and abortion is further down on my priority list than the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. I fundamentally disagree with Colson on Christians' homophobia. Love, Tim I liked this discussion.

That is such an important point - shared deliberation on the common good is so much more important than elections. That said, vote for Obama. :-) That quote from Hauerwas is great.
