Should Christians Get Involved in Politics?
While it is understood that the pulpit cannot not be used to endorse candidates and/or persuade congregants with political rhetoric otherwise losing their tax exemption status, the idea that individual believers should or should not involve themselves in political or governmental issues is a long lived debate. What do you think?

I'm not voting for you unless you pay me...but yes, we have a moral responsibility to take part.
I believe that they should definitely make themselves aware of what is going on in their society but just like anything else... you can become consumed with it. I think that everyone should vote regardless, but make sure they know why they are voting and the issues behind the two candidates.
I agree. I definitly think we need to have a say so in the running of our country, as long as we don't get obsessive over it. It's good to know whats going on.
I think its our responsibility to vote. At the same time though, I don't believe we should be as public with our choice in the election.
I know we don't have to worry about tax exemption, however I think as Christians. We should still hold to the policy of not publicly endorsing a candidate.
