How about this little cartoon as some food for thought. (FYI: The allusion here is from Matthew 25:34-45)
While it may offend some Christians, I think that is only because it is hitting an exposed nerve we may need to look more closely at. Here are my thoughts in a nutshell:
A great majority of the "Christian Right" needs to take a good look at themselves in the light of this scripture. God did not call us to sit back and merely elect a government that we believe promotes our idea of morality through "social conservatism." Viewing it from the other side, we are neither to merely elect a government that we believes promotes social justice through government programs. He called us to reach out our hands feed the hungry, welcome the stranger, clothe the naked, care for the sick, and visit the prisoner.
Thank God Jesus isn't a Republican or a Democrat!
