How Does Your Religion Influence Your Politics?

Religion and Politics often do not get along well.Please contact us if you have any questions or comments or want encouragement.

Everyone has their own political and religious beliefs. So when I was growing up, my mom told me not to talk about politics or religion because the discussion can become heated and pull people apart. Religion and Politics often only can get along well if the truth is spoken and agreed upon. Every man and women in the United States get to vote for who God leads them to vote for. It is foolish to argue and become angry with others, it only pulls people apart.

Sometimes it is best not to talk about politics and pray that God gives you the wisdom to love your “enemy,” as Jesus taught us. And allow the Holy Spirit to work on your and your neighbor’s hearts. I did not listen to my mom’s advice, but I used it partially by getting a feel for others and their beliefs and sharing mine. If we agreed, then we could talk. If we were not in agreement, I have learned to back out of the conversation gracefully by changing the subject by saying something like, “How are those Brewers doing?” And then do what my mom taught me: stop talking about it and talk about something else. I agree with her to a point, but how can someone know if nobody tells them.  The answer I would say is by asking the Holy Spirit to lead you, and to show respect to all people. ~  Bill Greguska
