So...what? Christian's are suppose to vote against their beliefs? Is a Christian politician suppose to completely forget his beliefs when voting on something like Abortion or Gay Marriage? It's not mixing the two that makes things fucked up, it's just politics that makes things fucked up. If people would start taking a little more responsibility for their actions and realize that there's consequences to everything, then you'd have a lot less political bs going on everywhere.

Of course, then you have the excuse of "They're going to do it anyway, might as well make it safe for them". That's used for drinking, smoking dope, having sex, and just about any hotbed political issue. It's also bullshit. Yeah, I know you can't watch your kids every moment of the day, but instead of just accepting what they do, put some controls on them. If you find pot, ground them. If they come home drunk, ground them. 3 month grounding usually works pretty well. No phone, no car, no going out except to school. So stop accepting childish behavior as the norm and start enforcing some rules.
