Uhh...

I'm religious, Christian in fact. But i am not conservative. I like a lot of what humanism has to say. But i'm not secular.

I don't like to mix God and politics overtly. I think there is a danger to let people think that this nation is blessed or ordained. My religious convictions play in to how i vote-i firmly believe that as a nation we ought to care for the least among us, and seek justice in our social order.

I'm working towards an ideal, perhaps summed up best by Micah 6:8, that i wish to "love tenderly, act justly, and walk humbly with [my] God." And i think there is a lot of social policy that plays in to that...but that it does not extend to theocracy. as a society we have a corporate responsiblity to be loving and just. as individuals we have a personal responsibility to walk with God, and contribute in community to being loving and just.
