The Politics of Religion ...
and the Religion of Science
Many and varied are the ways in which religion — specifically, the biblical Christianity of confessional Lutheranism — intersects with politics and science. Sometimes the relationships are somewhat cordial, at others, sharp differences and heated disagreements are the norm. The upcoming election provides for the latter, as Pastor Walter Snyder demonstrates in Stem Cells and Clones: What's the Matter with Missouri Amendment 2? at the Ask the Pastor blog. For those interested in learning more or in becoming more politically active before the elections, he includes links to references and supporting materials.
