Assignment: Suggestions for further resources, questions of clarification, or providing context and insight. Avoid simple posts of agreement; if you agree, explain why, and then thoughtfully further the conversation.

Your responses are a bit different from mine others' and that is what makes a discussion very interesting. You state that Christians should have a say in how their tax money is spent, I know that is what the prompt says but do you think that all people should have a say, or only Christians? People who follow different practices or beliefs might not agree with the same things that Christians believe, and matters such as these should be inclusive of everybody. This is why it is important to vote. Taxes are meant to benefit us and it will likely correlate to the majority of what the nation believes, a short and simple example might be the democratic ideals may weigh more on how the tax money is used right now because the nation has elected a democratic president. Obviously, if the president was republican, the same scenario would follow. You also mentioned investing in "Christian companies" and it is interesting to me to only support values of the same religion when other religions share the same values. Muslim, Catholic, and other religions may share values that are very similar to Christian values and supporting a "non-christian" company doesn't sound wrong to me if they are doing good for the world or providing a product or service that is held to a standard I like and operate with ethics I agree with.
