Hi BillD. Where I think that my beliefs are an important part of my life and that I should live a certain way...I could not see me imposing those beliefs in any way shape or form on the rest of Society as we all have choices.
The fact that some of the practices are against Christian principles is not the reason for the laws being made as I see it, or should not be anyway. However, I would expect any Christian group to have some say in any discussion before proposals are finally put into force for anything which goes against the natural order of the world or interferes with human life. In short, Christians are not responsible for the laws of the land but should have the same input as anyone else in any debate.
Governments make laws...often flawed ones these days but they still make them. What I would like to see at the head of this country is a Patriotic Board of Directors with business minds, headed up by someone like Richard Branson....with a view to doing their best for the Country as a going concern. It would surely be better than factions of the Government, or parties, battling against each other using false promises to get elected and then failing to run it successfully. I would like to see a Christian on the Board but so would every other "religious" set up.
I guess there's no way either of us are going to change the world but perhaps we can help to make it a better place to live in some way.
I will sure be trying in whatever way I can.
Best wishes.
