Voting Issues July 12, 2011 Commentary


A recent survey of voters by the Barna Group has found most Americans will cast their votes in 2012 based on issues like health care, taxes, terrorism, and employment. In other words, issues that “affect their personal security and comfort,” while issues like abortion, poverty, environmental policy, and gay marriage -- or the “moral” issues- were less important to the majority of voters.

However there was a clear exception. Self-identified religious conservatives clearly cared about more issues than the non-religious. And it should be that way.

A Biblical perspective sees all dimensions of reality as important to God.

On the other hand, secularism limits our view, failing to see the important connection between issues of civic policy and personal morality.

What do you think.
