conservative, etc. We're in trouble if we as Christians start to
view one as more Christian than the other. I've heard so much in
recent days about both McCain and Obama from Christians that seem to
suggest that Christianity always picks a side and fights for it.
Sorry, but I just don't see that in the Bible.
Here's my brief thought on politics... if postmodernism has any good
side to it, it's this: it can help us appreciate other ways of
interpreting the world, even inside our Christian faith. It at least
acknowledges that there are often more than one way to view things,
more than one interpretation. If we are humble, postmodernism can
correct our dogmaticism a little. I think believers in Christ have
to be careful to first represent who Jesus is, and then humbly hold
to their own opinions. In the heavily mediated society we live in,
KNOWING is hard; we need more humility in our approach to
interpreting the reality around us, especially political reality.
Otherwise, we'll just pick a side and join the shouting match.
