I realize that people of faith were very much involved in the Civil Rights movement, Abolition, women suffrage, and doing away with child labor in this country. People of faith were looking for ways to extend freedom to those being denied those God-given rights.

But today it seems the other way around. Rather than take their marching orders from sound Biblical teachings, too many preachers are being turned into precinct captains and churches are becoming cogs in a political machine advancing the ideology of a favored politician or talking head. Does any one else find this as disturbing as I do?
