Soulfyre, there is a difference between discussing such issues and declaring that Orthodox should only vote for Republicans because they are Orthodox. Nor is it passive-aggressive to suggest that attempting such manipulations is deceptive at best.

It boils down to a formula that follows a similar pattern to \"I can't vote for X candidate because of Y issue even though X candidate has opposing views on Z issue,\" followed by a declaration about how Y issue is more important than Z issue and again why said candidate is the only one an Orthodox Christian can vote for in good faith. Rinse repeat. So yes when you follow that formula you are subverting this faith and it benefits the candidate you root for rather than your soul.

Outsider, alot of this started when I posted the letter from Fr. Demetri. Why do you insists on saying he said vote for republicans? He said to vote ONLY for those who are pro-life on every level of government. As fas as president is concerned, this i McCain, at congressional, local level, that may be a democrat. YOU turned this into a partisan thing, bringing the war into it.
