TV tonight
This month's edition of Unconventional Wisdom airs tonight on AETN at 6:30 p.m. The roundtable segment of the program will focus on faith and politics, including a discussion of the recent attempt to pass the federal marriage amendment, which would have defined marriage in the U.S. Constitution. Participating in the discussion will be Larry Page of the Arkansas Faith and Ethics Council and Ed Matthews, who co-founded the Arkansas Interfaith Alliance.
The show will repeat on Sunday at noon, or you can watch it on your computer right now at aetn.org.
Comments
The only faith in politics is in the form of faith based voting with voters having no choice but to have faith the machine counts the vote right.
There is no faith in politics and rightly so. You can't have faith in politicians. You have to hold them accountable and think for yourself.
Stop the madness, stop voting in the cult leaders pleeasse.

I believe its essential to offer civil unions to gays when we add the proper definition of marriage to the constitution. The ADG surprisingly offered has supported civil unions as well as limiting marriage to one man and one woman (with age, blood line restrictions, etc.) The ADG recommended inheritence and medical insurance sharing.
Curiously, the ADG also had an article supporting gay foster parents. Apparently the ADG is no bastion of conservatism.

I just checked to make sure my Tivo was set to get this. I don't want to miss the shows first communion. Now I can't look at a communion wafer without thinking of a hanging chad.
I am hoping someone will bring up some new ideas, like maybe introducing the concept of marriage including one man and 2 women. Or maybe facing the changes in our world by allowing cross species marriages.
Heck, if man loves, supports and shares his bed with a horse for 20 years, I think the horse should be entitled to share the man's social security benefits after his death. No Glue Factory for Widowed Horses!
Look around, loving relationships are ruff bidness and our laws should reward those that successfully maintain any long term relationship for the good stable-izing effects it has on the community.
People are wrong about Rick Santorum, he's a man of amazing ideas. I never considered a farm animal as a life partner before Rick spoke up.
So let the show begin! I've dusted off my faith meter and I'm ready to believe.
