Thanks for your thoughts. I agree - there are a great many puzzling contradictions among those who want to speak for Christ on issues of the day. That contradiction is rooted in our desire to fit Jesus into our own assumptions, rather than sift those assumptions through the commands you mention: love for God, love for neighbor. This post is part of my own attempt to do some of that sifting. The topics you mention are all part of an ongoing series on my own blog.  What role do guns have in loving our neighbor? Do we believe Jesus when he says "blessed are the peacemakers"? If we're pro-life, do we get to choose which lives are worth our concern, and which are expendable? You raise some great questions that we need to be thinking,, praying, and talking about in the months between now and the November elections.
