Why I am voting no to the culture war

We are free to vote as our political persuasion leads us to, but it is time Christians stop fuelling the less-than-holy warring spirit so prevalent in our culture, says US pastor Austin Fischer

I will be voting for some Republicans, a few Democrats and I suspect a Libertarian or two. But mostly, I will be voting no to the culture war.

America is a diverse country, and our diversity is an understandable source of tension. We worship different gods, desire different goods, reason toward different goals. These are not inconsequential differences. Politics, at its best, is a shared venture to order our society for the common good given the constraints of such pluralism. Politics, at its worst, is a winner-take-all cage match between a righteous us and a rotten them.
