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.
You definitely would have had a problem with the message I heard this morning while visiting a congregation for the first time. The topic was the Christian citizen -- standing up for life, marriage, and religious liberty.

Your example of two brothers who can't even fellowship really surfaces other problems such as the obsession to win arguments.

I wonder how much your political views are a reaction to TC. When I first contacted the church in Cleveland, I heard endless derogatory comments about "peanuts" Carter, the current WH resdent.
