I understand leading a group of people is difficult. Christians can't even agree among themselves yet alone get involved in politics. However, I have a civic duty to vote and honor our government regardless of who is in charge because God places the leaders there. It is hard to swallow government decisions against your beliefs and worse yet the Bible. I personally just wish everyone can get along with respect. The media likes to stir up trouble for ratings.

I've found the best way to follow the teachings of Jesus is to take his teachings as a personal code in which I should behave and not as something that needs to be forced or even suggested to others. And I've found that if you are doing it right (trusting in God and treating those you meet with consideration and compassion) some folks will want to learn what you believe and why without you ever having to show a cross or quote a Bible verse.
