A reader made a comment on the About page of this site: Honestly, religion and politics should never mix. Government is there to provide services for the people not to convert people to Christianity. I hope politicians will never be voted into office based on their faith rather than their morals or goals.

In John 18:38 Pontius Pilate famously asked Jesus the question “what is truth?” I once heard R.C. Sproul give this definition: “That which corresponds to reality.” One of the interesting things about a Biblical Christian Worldview is that it assumes the existence of an absolute objective truth that is external to mankind.
