Here is another comment I just posted over at CNN.com. I don’t know if it will get put up or not.
Here is the comment:
Christians should humbly enter the ideas of Christian Freedom into the public debate. Christians should be willing to serve in government. These are good and right things.Christians should be careful, though, to avoid an attitude of trying to advance Faith through power. Faith is a choice of the heart based on the testimony of the Holy Spirit and of Reason. It cannot be compelled.
However, the ideas introduced to this globe via Christianity have a place in public debate, especially in a nation whose very historical core was so influenced by followers of Jesus Christ.
Let’s submit our ideas with our lives to love the world and make available to all True Freedom in Jesus.
Let’s also love those who for whatever reason cannot accept what we offer and acknowledge that each will give an account to God for their own conscience.

Greetings Jon,
I too wrote a comment on CNN blog. It’s just as if every Tom and Harry can impose their views on us but we cannot oppose them. While conservative governments cannot literally throw the bible at the face of their citizens, I entirely agree that values must be upheld because this is what holds a country above the raging water. Like I ended my blog on CNN, God have mercy on our nations because so many have rejected its authority.
