From North Carolina pastor John Pavlovitz:
Republican friends, if I were in your shoes this wouldn’t be difficult.
The decision wouldn’t even be in question.
It would be a no-brainer.
You wouldn’t need to attempt to convince me or lobby my conscience or try and reach down into my humanity in order to alter my political allegiance.
You wouldn’t have to continually appeal to my professed religious tradition or my respect for the Constitution or to our shared humanity in order to move me to your side—as I’d have already tapped into these things myself and willingly joined you there.
