Time’s online magazine had an interesting article you can read HERE which covered some of James Dobson’s comments from last week concerning Barack Obama. In response to Dobson’s remarks, another group of Christians launched the webs site, www.jamesdobsondoesntspeakforme.com.

What’s clear is that not all Christians are going to come down on the same side of all the issues in 2008.

To complicate matters further a recent study done by the Barna Group shows that 16-29 year olds are very skeptical of Christianity. The study explored twenty specific images related to Christianity, including ten favorable and ten unfavorable perceptions. Among young non-Christians, nine out of the top 12 perceptions were negative. 75 % of the respondents said Christians are too involved in politics.

So I’ve been thinking. How do we as Christians respond in an election year? What do you think our role is in politics? Should we even care what other’s think about our involvement?

I would love to hear what YOU think…
