Party National Conventions: Getting a bunch of people together, run your opponents into the ground, and build up pride in your own men and women.
The more I watch the Republican convention, the more I realize how antithetical American politics is to a Christian worldview.
I’d expect backbiting, pride-pushing antics from those who know not the Kingdom of God — within which the last is first and the first is last and opponents are blessed — but how messed up is American Christianity when we see even professed Christians on a national stage blatantly shirking so many of the Christ’s teachings…

Nice perspective. I confess I too find myself in debates with cutting comments and harsh tones. Still, I believe the future of our country as we know it is at stake in the next election.
