Didasko, you're welcome.
Now to the topic: My answer is yes.
Do I want my political leaders to be influenced by the Lord, yes. However, I don't expect it. Politics in American is based on democracy. Well, God never wanted us to be a democracy. He wanted a theocracy. Democracy is (yet again) man's way of trying to control things that God wants us to submit control of to Him. Therefore, our political leaders are forced to ignore the true wishes of God in order to run something that gives mankind the power instead of the Lord.
So, with the political system we now have, I do think that MY religion should have a place in politics. I think that MY religion should be overwhelmingly present in the lawmaking process. I think, ultimately, that we should support our politicians in prayer and abide by laws of the land (as God commanded) but remember that we are not OF this world and we are held to a higher set of standards than anything ever defined by mankind.
