I'm certainly in favor of Prop 8 but I think you're on to something with it being a win-lose for the church. The church protects the marriage institution, but in her reactivity continues to separate and polarize itself from the lost. And when do we as the church start taking personal responsibility for our children and learn how to live with authentic faith in a pluralistic society? It's like we've lost the belief that God has any power left in our families...and replaced it with faith in "reactivity".<br/><br/>Reading this book during the election only supports Friedman's thesis on our society's regression...and strengthens the need for non-reactivity in our leaders, churches, and families. <br/><br/>Again, great thoughts and application of the book to daily realities.

Reading this book during the election only supports Friedman’s thesis on our society’s regression…and strengthens the need for non-reactivity in our leaders, churches, and families.

Again, great thoughts and application of the book to daily realities.

I have a friend that told me that one of his co-workers had a heart attack at work and she attributed her attack to the election of Barack Obama...Now that is getting a bit worked up if you ask me!
