Brian McLaren gives the various factors he considers when deciding how to cast his vote. “And my understanding of environmental stewardship obligates me to ask what’s best for birds of the air, flowers of the field, and fish of the sea too.

“Lord — Protect my family and me. Forgive me my sins, and help me guard against pride and despair. Give me the wisdom to do what is right and just. And make me an instrument of your will,”

Here is a quote from The Reason for God, pg 192.

“God did not inflict pain on someone else, but rather on the Cross absorbed the pain, violence, and evil of the world into himself.  Therefore the God of the Bible is not like the primitive deities who demanded our blood for their wrath to be appeased.  Rather, this is a God who becomes human and offers his own lifeblood in order to honor moral justice and merciful love so that someday he can destory all evil without destroying us.”
