No, I do realize that invoking or not invoking God in politics isn't dictated by the Bible. (see my post where I assured OHIO that I wouldnt quarantine him... ).

But I do see a negative side to it and there are some Biblical principles which support my view, so I will make a good effort at persuasion. If folks aren't persuaded, that certainly doesn't mean fellowship should be hindered on iota.

I know two blood brother each of whom believes
Their faith dictates their political views. One is staunchly Democratic and one has never disagreed with Rush Limbaugh. Because their political views are tied to what they believe is God's will, the gulf between them is as big as if they didn't share a common faith.

Since it is NOT clear that God wills us to do HIS work in politics, I think there ate less downsides to refraining.
