Would you -

I would not. I could be persuaded more by a family member's opinion
& logic to look twice at a certain candidate, but I make my own choices
in the end.

Church is for hearing about God, not political issues. Mercy, I hear enough about the canidates on tv and the news. I make my own choice and give that right to others. I just HATE being told what to do!

The only thing our pastor ever says from the pulpit on this is to be sure to vote. As a part of that, he suggests that we follow debates, educate ourselves, not just go in on 'the day' and check a few boxes.

Among other things, religion suggests a method of making decisions, but it does not tell you what decision to make.

Apparently there are some religious figures who feel it is their right to tell members how to vote. In the article I linked, the attorney for the group says -

three dozen church leaders from more than 20 states have agreed to deliver a political sermon, naming political names.

"The sermon will be an evaluation of conditions for office in light of scripture and doctrine. They will make a specific recommendation from the pulpit about how the congregation would vote," he said.

"They could oppose a candidate. They could oppose both candidates. They could endorse a candidate. They could focus on a federal, state or local election."

If this happened while I was in church, I would get up and leave.

I would not only leave, I would contact the IRS about them.

Mary - read the article I posted the link for. It is about some preachers who plan to test the IRS rulings about this.

That was my point. I would continue to report them for as long as they continued to challenge the IRS rulings.
