If I had more time, I'd probably devote a whole post to pacifism and the common practice of Christian politics, but I don't so I won't... (kind of)
I will say, though, that Christians have always had a difficult time figuring who it was they could murder and who deserved to live. If you believe that local law enforcement is okay, then going to war is okay because both involve murder. Buh? War is okay, as long as its just, so let's talk about what makes war just. Buh? I can understand that line of reasoning, except in my experience, most Christians are not educated in those academic arguments and prefer instead to pull a Toucan Sam (follow their nose, or gut). I also know that some of the most significant changes in recent history have come through non-violent resistance, and I think a lot of Christians are probably not as educated as they should be about that. Dr. King, Ghandi, Desmond Tutu - these are men we should all know more about. All this to say, we would do well to think more critically about the role of peace in God's Kingdom.
I started out by stating my idealistic practice of non-participation in politics. I have been challenged by the clarifying questions of a few, and probably ignored by others. This has been a good process for me, at the least, to be able to articulate my streams of thought and then to find out where they lead. I've gone through two major case studies for significant issues that Christians often associate with the importance of voting. So, following these streams of thought, where are we now?
To be honest, I'm not really sure. It's not like I am going to declare myself and my position a success. I wouldn't say it's been a failure either. I haven't reached a point where I feel like my stance is indefensible. And, I find I'm not alone although in the minority - which is fine.
So, here is the heart of my thoughts on this matter:
I am tired of Christians who feel so strongly about politics that hatred, discord, and acceptable ignorance have entered their hearts and public discourse with regularity. This should not be. No Christian should hate another person just because they think differently about a very complex, sometimes purely secular issue.
I spoke with a Christian yesterday who wants to move to Canada because "they've already figured out this whole socialism thing." You know what, that's ignorant. Obama is not "half a step from Communism," as this Christian told me. Why do people feel good about ignorance? If we discredit people who think differently from us, is it really security? What control do we really maintain if caricature the "other side" without listening to what their saying?
As an aside, because those comments made me mad, read your Bible people. Read your Old Testament. Read about the Year of Jubilee. And then shudder because your God is more socialist than you. And when you start to say, "But that was the Old Testament...," go read the New Testament. If you are a part of my movement, go read our "capstone chapter" (Acts 2) and then shudder because you realize that the church you are trying to replicate was more socialist than you.
And even then, I have this feeling like maybe Obama is not a communist. Probably not a socialist, either. All that to say, accepted ignorance is not okay. Either Christians should educate themselves, or be quiet. It's not okay to think un-critically about anything.
I am also tired of Christians who think that God wants them to change the world through politics. I don't believe that He does. I believe that God wants to change the world through His church. Here's something we can all agree on: not all politicians have the Spirit of God. So why would we argue that politics has fundamental role to play in carrying out God's agenda in the world? That doesn't make sense. I have witnessed many Christian Republicans who are scared about the next four years in America. Why? Because we have democratic legislative and executive branches in our government? Like, there's nothing for these Christians to do for the next four years? That's crazy! I believe the earlier case studies have shown that there is so much Christians can do in regards to abortion, regardless of what a democratic government legistlates, and the same is true for homosexual marriages. Our task as Christians on this earth has not been put on hold until 2012.
If then, a person can accept that regardless of politics, the Christian duty to be bearers of the Kingdom of God remains the same, of what importance is voting? I refuse to believe that God's agenda has been thwarted by the election of Barack Obama. Sadly, there are those in our churches that would disagree with that statement. None of them read my blog. So for the rest of us, can we all agree that we may need to rethink the importance of the vote? Please?
In case this is not clear enough, let me try again.
God gave the world His church, He did not give the world America.
God expects change to occur in the world as a result of the work of His church, not as a result of the voting majority in a specific country on His planet.
I'm afraid that too many Christians forget this. I'm afraid that more Christians intellectually promote these ideas, but practically ignore them.
So why vote? I say, only vote if you are committed to the idea that your purpose and goal in life as a Christian will not change regardless of who wins what election or regardless of what everbill gets passed. If you are voting as if the Kingdom depends on it, don't vote. Well, can voting be a branch of your faith? Sure it can. Absolutely. I'd even be comfortable with saying it's an extension of your faith. Maybe even an expression. But it is not THE expression or THE extension or THE stump from which all other things branch. Please don't let it be that. There are, quite simply, too many other agendas involved in the political process for me to endorse it as a primary way for God's change to take place. As a secondary way? Sure. But may we never say that God's people need American politics to change the world. We don't.
And with my last gasping breaths, let me say this (on a personal level): this experience has been very, very good for me. I have really appreciated the insights and clarifying questions and challenges I received from several close friends. I also appreciated the support of a certain Rogue. My convictions on these matters have not changed, nor do I anticipate that they will. I have decided, however, that my practice can change. I cannot defend the idea that voting itself is wrong. I can only defend that the motivations which drive Christians to vote are often/sometimes wrong. Which is why I will be reading more intentionally about why my favorite non-participator (David Lipscomb) and others chose not to participate in human governments of any kind. And, why upon finishing my research, I think it is likely that I'll be rocking it along with everyone else in 2012. But, if I do, I can guarantee it won't be in support of Sarah Palin. Ha!
(and with that final gasp of laughter, Mr. Faris finally shut up)

Filibuster? Hardly know her!
As an aside, no show called "My Own Worst Enemy" deserves to be taken seriously. Also, it stars Christian Slater. Really, no studio exec at NBC could figure this out? Really?
I feel like blogging, but not about political stuff. Things are a little saturated in the political department these days. I need some fresh air.
Except now I can't remember what else I wanted to blog about. Stink.
Well, let me just say this, voting against gay marriage doesn't really solve anything. If you don't want homosexuals to ger married, fine. Whatever. But what does that really do? Protect the sanctity of marriage? Carry out the the agenda of the Kingdom of God?
Well... in short, no. If Christians are really concerned about the sanctity of marriage, shouldn't they stop getting divorced at a rate equal to that of non-Christians? Aren't our own marriages a good place to start? It seems a little odd to me for Christians to have such strong feelings about not letting homosexual couples get married when concrete evidence shows that we do such a poor job of maintaining holiness in our own marriages. Any Christian who is going to spend a lot of time and effort worrying about and voting against homosexual marriage had better make sure that he or she is maintaining holiness in his or her own marriage. Isn't that more important?
Secondly, if voting against homosexual marriage is something that someone sees as carrying out a part of the Kingdom agenda, then it seems to me that we also ought to be spending a lot of time hanging out with and loving homosexual people. I'm pretty sure that is a part of God's Kingdom agenda as well.
Not making the separate-paragraph-of-its-own-cut: the idea that homosexual couples, since they choose to live as such, probably should have some of the same rights as straight couples and the idea that it hurts our ministry to homosexual people when we so openly oppose the issue so that it also appears that Christians oppose them.
All that to say, I don't understand why homosexual marriage has become such a critical part of the Christian political platform. I'm not sure it should be. Or if it has to be, can it at least come from a better perspective? Unless, of course, if we're scared of something....
Bookend asides: Today, there was a misspelling at church on the song powerpoint that was hilarious. The song is "Lord, Reign in Me." The normal chorus starts like this "Lord, reign in me, reign in your power." The actual phrase as it appeard on the screen, "Lord, reign in me, rein in your power."
I was singing on praise team and had to put down my mic so people couldn't hear me laughing. How funny. Rein in your power. I will not sermonize on Christians asking God to rein it in. I will just laugh. Because it's funny. Yeah.

Filibustering
As I write this, the new President of America, Barack Obama, is delivering his address to a raucous crowd in Chicago.
I've spent the last several minutes reading Facebook statuses. I'm ashamed, for the most part, by what I've read. I've read some things posted on several other blogs, and I've had one email conversation with a good friend with an open mind. I feel the need to clarify some things.
I am not saying that Christians should not vote.
I am saying that when or if they do, I wish it were from a different perspective than what I typically hear and read from Christians.
My goal here is to challenge these typical perspectives. As I told a friend via email today, I am taking this stance based upon a firmly held idealist conviction. To vote now, when so many seem to scoff and think my position to be ludicrous, ignorant, or even un-Christian, is something I will not do. I don't want people to assume that I think what they think about Christianity and the American government. So, I don't vote because I choose not to - BUT I do not think it wrong for Christians to vote.
So, now, we need to look at some particular issues. We'll start with the one that gets me going the most: Abortion.
Abortion is the Christian issue. It seems to me that this is the one issue that decides Christian votes more than any other. My experience is that more Christians vote based on the abortion issue alone than any other. For one, on a purely intellectual level, to vote based on one issue is probably a little short-sighted. But so much more than that, Christians have a serious deficiency on the way that they have typically addressed this issue.
If Christians are going to vote pro-life, it doesn't end there. With the most profane definition, abortion is killing babies. I'm not in support of abortion. It's a sad and horrifying idea. But if you are opposed to killing babies, why would you support war? Do we have bombs that only taget adults that I don't know about? If killing babies means so much to us, we need to think very seriously and critically about what it means to go to war because that too involves the deaths of innocent people, including children, through warfare and refugee situations. If you are against abortion, I think you should at least seriously consider your stance on war and you will need to be able to give your reasons for why killing babies should be illegal in our country, but why it is okay to support the murder of children in other countries. And if I need to point out that there's not really a difference between murdering babies and murdering...
Translation: abortion is murder, war involves murder. We need to be aware of the connection between the two.
Even more so than the murder issue, if Christians are going to vote against abortion, it doesn't end there. You better be ready to adopt, or at least support adoption in whatever way you can. Keeping mothers of unwanted children from being able to have an abortion means we are going to have more and more unwanted children being born. Christians read their Bibles. James 1:27. I'm not an adoption expert. My sense is that adoption isn't for everyone and no one should feel guilty for not adopting if they know they shouldn't. But Christians are going to at least support it in whatever way they can.
Translation: To vote pro-life and not support adoption in some way is irresponsible.
If Christians are going to vote against abortion, it doesn't end there. Illegal abortion is not going to stop unwed women from getting pregnant. Let's be honest, voting to make abortion illegal doesn't mean people will stop trying and getting abortions. So what have you solved by voting? Preserving the sanctity of our Christian nation? Abortion isn't even the issue! It's the symptom of a disease(s) of great social magnitude. It has ties back to urban neglect and poverty. It has ties to the generational poor and weak public education. It has ties to middle and upper class teenagers having premarital sex at alarming rates. It has ties to pornography addictions and date rape. How is voting against abortion going to solve any of these complex social issues? What is really accomplished by voting for or against political candidates who are on one side or the other on the abortion issue? Not only that, what have we gained from voting Republican candidates into office?
Put simply, voting pro-life solves very little of what it seems Christians hope to accomplish by doing so. This is why, when it comes to this issue, it is incredibly dangerous to consider the act of voting as fully constitutional of one's act of faith. If you are a Christian, your "spiritual task" is not done in regards to the abortion issue if you vote pro-life. Hopefully no one will disagree with that.
For me, the question becomes, how can we, as Christians, begin to address this issue. Shall we do it through politics? Perhaps. But what if Christians disagree on whether or not abortion should be illegal? What happens then? What if, as no doubt many Christians are worrying even now (I'm not one of them), a democrat government is elected? How then will you deal with this issue?
It seems to me that it becomes very difficult pretty quickly to see the agenda of the Kingdom of God accomplished through the American government. If only God had instituted a body on Earth that could carry out His agenda! If only He had given that body His Spirit so that true change we can believe in might take place! If only...

The Filibuster Continues
Here are two major issues that make my position difficult. I'm not saying I think have an air-tight position here, but what follows is my current response to these issues. This post represents my public wrestling with some serious issues.
1. People fought and died so that I could have the right to vote or not vote.
2. The notion of civic duty.
In response to number one...
...
Okay, actually, I don't really know. Part of me feels very strongly about recognizing and honoring the sacrifices of those who have fought/fight in defense of our country. What those men and women have done is not something considered lightly or easily ignored. And I'm not ignoring it. At the same time, another part feels quite strongly that violence is never an acceptable solution (more on pacifism and politics later). I don't want to glorify violence, so it's very difficult to know exactly how to react to the sacrifices of previous generations. At the very least, they fought so that American people could have a choice as to how they respond. And, as I noted in the previous post, I am not apathetic. Apathy probably does neglect their sacrifice; I'm not willing to say that my choice not to vote because of my religious convictions does.
As an aside, the idea that I wouldn't be able to state my views if it weren't for those generations that worked and fought to make this happen is interesting. Yes, I suppose so. But if they had worked and fought and failed, and we were living in a country where we didn't enjoy certain "freedoms," wouldn't most people hold a view of governments and politics similar to mine (ie, the church moves regardless of governments and politics)? Yes, those people made it possible for me to hold these convictions publicly, but it's not like I wouldn't hold them otherwise.
In response to the second issue of civic duty, I say this. What exactly is civic duty? I'm going to need a clear definition before being able to respond in full. To work from generalities, though, I do not think that rend unto Caesar means Christians should vote. Let's not load our guns with only half the bullet, go ahead and shoot the whole verse!
Then he said to them, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's." (Matt. 22:21)
I think you can go a couple of different directions with this one. First, it's not wrong to vote. I'm not saying Christians should not vote. I'm saying I don't vote because of certain convictions that I have. Voting is fine. My wife votes, my family votes, you probably vote. As I said in the previous post, I'm an idealist on this issue. I also like to challenge conventional thinking. So, for one, voting is not wrong.
At the same time, let's think about what Jesus truly intends to say in this passage. Once again, the Pharisees have come out to trap him with a tricky question. It seems that some things never change. The teachers of the Law knew that if they wanted a tricky question, they could pick from one of many in the political realm. I'll save the details for someone else, but Rome and Israel were not real tight in any way except geographically. So this is a question of significant political ramifications. Answer pro-Rome and the Jews will stop listening; answer pro-Jews and the Romans have a potential political revolutionary who they would be very interested in silencing.
So how does his answer get him off the hook. He basically goes pro-everyone. If it belongs to the government, give it to the government. That is follows its laws, pay its taxes, etc. Some would say vote. If it belongs to God, give it to Him.
And this why I don't see voting as a civic duty that must be done. I'm much more interested (and quite frankly, much more scared) of the second part of that classic civic duty Scripture. What should I be giving to God? The answer of course, is everything. Everything I do, everything I say, everything I have... it ALL goes to God.
So, if I were to vote, I guess I'm not really concerned with civic duty. Being a good citizen (see Romans 13) is just a part of being a good Christian (as well as avoiding getting kicked out of Rome again). Being a good citizen doesn't happen for its own sake or for the sake of "civic duty." No, in all things, I have one goal, one purpose, and one duty in this life: to glorify God in everything. (I have written before about the American farce of "certain unalienable rights," but let me just say that I believe that there are probably fewer rights in God's kingdom than there are in America. Right to bear arms? Uh.... Right to the pursuit of happiness? Uh....)
All that to say this, if I were to vote, it wouldn't be because of civic duty. It would only be because I felt that voting would somehow help me carry out my objective of "rendering unto God." And therein lies the real problem.
