this is one of the first halfway sensible articles pairing religion and politics that i've read in a long while.

As sensible as is possible for something like this, I suppose. He's still telling us its okay to make decisions based in a religious context. I'm not sure if I am comfortable applying the word 'sensible' to anything religious. Could we use a fictional word that means sort of the same thing? Like...'wisensurp', which means to usurp wisdom and use faith instead.
So now we can say, 'This article is wisensurp and nicely thought out.' :toothy5:

i just think if youre going to use religion as a basis for making your decisions, you should at least be internaly consistent and make the best choices possible given your belief system.

I agree, and actually, this should really apply when making any decision. People don't have to be 'religious' to make poor choices and be inconsistent...it just helps. :D
