I have spent a large portion of my life in the church, and it is painfully obvious that the majority of people that call themselves Christians are on the complete wrong side of the fence politically.
Either they are bleeding heart liberals; because they think that welfare and entitlements are somehow remotely close to altruism and Christ's teachings, or; they are neo-con hawks who associate warfare and patriotism as courageously championing the cause of righteousness.
The truth is, there are not many pastors or pundits who truly understand that Christianity is not to be found on either side of the aisle, and fewer who preach it.
While there are plenty of solid books on the subject of Christianity and liberty, they are mostly very dense and cerebral.
I have been writing light essays for a short time now that defend the staples of the libertarian charter from a reformed perspective. I showed a few to a friend who suggested that I start a new account on the forums and open it up to the members. The greatest tool we have in the liberty movement is pooled resources and collaboration.
So I would like to ask if anyone else is interested in working together to create a short book on this topic. I would like to shape the material to a high school/college age reading level. I think that it is something that would also be very influential to spreading around at Tea Parties.
The Christian church is in serious need of direction and a solid argument to move them towards the cause.
The book will deal with:
War, Drugs, Marriage, Welfare and Taxes.
These seem to be the issues the Church gets hung up on.
I look forward to any help and or advice.
God Bless,
