In my humble opinion, this is a political topic, and political topics do not belong on Logos. Or, if Logos is going to offer them, it should give equal time to works that document the harm that the quest for political power has historically done and is arguably now doing to the church, and that urge the church to stay out of such quests, or that argue for other, humbler approaches to activism, than trying to force people outside the church to conduct their private lives the way we want them to (as if we all agreed on precisely how they should conduct those lives, anyway). There's a whole array of opinion represented in current Christian literature that's out there; I'm not going to review it here, or offer up titles that represent these varying Christian views. What I *am* going to say is that Logos' stepping into the political fray is in my humble opinion a divisive mistake; and just like the larger current phenomenon of Christian political power-seeking, it will not end well. I'm not going to get into an argument about this; I've said what I've had to say; so please, don't anyone even try to engage me in some futile protracted debate. The Lord Jesus bless you all.
