I agree with you a lot. We HAVE to focus on other things as Christian. I get so frustrated when I hear things like this at church or in the news. These questions are very focused and incredibly good.

Your post came at just the right time. Down here in San Diego our Pastor just preached a sermon in favor the Marriage Ammendment. In fact our church will be having a campaign where every member will be called during the election week reminding them to vote yes. Anyhow, he claimed that all sorts of bad things would happen to the church if the amendment passed (would be fined, etc.) and that kids would be taught a different definition of marriage in public schools. While I thought his comments about the church being silenced (e.g. Canada) were way over the top, couldn't there be some negative ramifications for the church? What are your thoughts? Thanks.
