Note: Because this Opinion is long, I have asked The Madera Tribune to publish it in two pieces, the remaining part in next week’s paper.
This question, in this letter, is primarily for Christians, any denomination, very active, not practicing, whatever. Others are invited to consider the message herein and see how the question relates to them.
Again: Why are you a Democrat? That’s the bait question. Here’s the hook question — who do you associate yourself with?
As a person who considers themself a Christian, do you associate yourself with goodness or non-goodness? Some non-goodness can be very evil. As a Christian, you certainly wouldn’t want to associate yourself with very evil stuff. Not as a Christian! It’s going to be easy here to say, well, Christ associated with sinners.
