Comments on: Bono: Living a More Involved Life http://right-wing-religious-wacko.com/2006/02/08/bono-living-a-more-involved-life/ Wacko! is a conservative Christian living in the liberal Washington, D.C. metro suburbs. He will question both the left and right and offer conservative viewpoints in a thoughtful way. This is his take on faith, culture, politics, and society.

Although I do not post as frequently as I'd like, I hope you will visit the site in the future so we can continue to dialogue. As someone who identifies himself as a conservative evangelical, I do see a lot wrong with the conservative evangelical community. I agree with you that the tendency is to judge rather than actually doing something. Christians should only judge other Christians - not the rest of the world. We are called to hate the sin and love the sinner, not judge them. Why? Because our call is to judge only those who profess to hold to the same standard: Jesus Christ and His perfection. We do not judge the world, that is His job. What Bono suggests is not following the dogma of Christianity, but to instead mimic Jesus. He is right to challenge persons of all faiths to help the poor. He's given me a kick in the pants. I'll have to check out his organization and make a contribution. Thanks again for stopping by! Jonathan,

I was raised in a very strict Christian household where love and respect for yourself and others was the rule. I find as I get older that some "liberals" out here around the golden gate and the nation are scattered in an agenda. There does not seem to be a solution to the liberal whistle blowing. The right wing Christian folk, and there are a lot of them out here surprisingly, tend to focus only on what everyone is doing wrong and not enough on how to help without judgement. I find your blog refreshing and gives me hope that our nation will not continue to be as polarized in view as it has. Baby steps.
