Jim Wallis on upswing of interest in Religion and Politics.


Taken from Sojourner email... http://www.sojo.net

Hearts & Minds
+++++++++++++++++++++
The beginning of a debate

by Jim Wallis

----------------

Edited by ataraxia

Niebuhr thought that sustained moral energy in politics depended on religion's power to mobilize reason along with self-transcending love. The prophetic tradition, meanwhile, gave Jews and Christians some protection against the temptation to identify their social causes with God's will. Lincoln's second inaugural address expressed the prophetic insight, "The almighty has His own purposes."

Here is a link to where there are interviews of almost all the Dem candidates on their understanding of the separation of Church and State.

DLW-

If you repost something I've deleted again, you'll be banned for a while.

Did you read what I wrote?

I was not in conflict with the copy-right proceedings of Sojourners.

You yourself failed to read what their policy was in much detail, as I explained.

Do you really think that Jim Wallis would have a problem with his "Beginning of a debate" article being posted as part of the beginning of a debate?

DLW: Did you read what I wrote?

ataraxia: Yes.

DLW: I was not in conflict with the copy-right proceedings of Sojourners.

ataraxia: I don't really care, DLW. I've said it before and will repeat it for you in case you missed it: I'll delete cut-and-pasted articles you post regardless of whether the original source gives you permission to post them here or not. I hope you "get it" finally.

DLW: Do you really think that Jim Wallis would have a problem with his "Beginning of a debate" article being posted as part of the beginning of a debate?

ataraxia: I couldn't care less what Jiim Wallis thinks about it. But I hope YOU get my point. Don't post entire articles anymore regardless of copy-right laws. Post a summary in your own words and the URL. If people are interested, they'll read it and respond. If they're not, they won't.

Be sure to apply this to everyone.

I'm going to take a self-imposed exile.

Have a nice year.

I will try to be even-handed in applying this, DLW. But I want to be honest with you in admitting that it's the sheer amount of material you post which creates the need for me to act as I do. What I mean is, if somebody who as a rule does not post article after article breaks her habit and posts an entire article without infringing upon any copy-right laws, I'd be inclinded to let it go. They're likely quite interested in discussing the article and don't have several other full-length articles in other threads as well. But unfortunately your habit is to post entire articles whenever possible regardless of whether you or anyone else comments on them.

You're daily average is down from what it once was, but for months on end you were averaging more than 10 posts per day, seven days a week. That's quite amazing. You are down a few post per day on your average, but one has to wonder whether or not you view this as a "discussion" site or an opporunity to adversize.

Personally, I love reading YOU when you offer YOUR thoughts. So don't leave. Just streamline things a bit, give us your own thoughts, and enjoy the weather!
