Our Beliefs on Others
It seems like Christians like to push their beliefs/morals on others, especially non-Christians. This applies a lot to government, but to personal life as well. Should the US government say no to abortion, if the general consensus of the US is yes? Should we judge others for being (fill in the blank), if their influences tell them it's okay? I guess my main point is: If they aren't Christians, does it matter what they are doing?

That thought is a major principle in understanding the two Kingdoms, and why we shouldn't get involved politically to try to change things. The world is going to be wicked, and trying to clothe the country with Christian morals when inside it's the same sin and wickedness, it's just not going to work.I guess my main point is: If they aren't Christians, does it matter what they are doing?

So, basically, "it's going to be terrible anyways, why try to make it less terrible through government?"
That seems a bit defeatist to me, I mean, Jesus said to help others and if you can help save lives by say, trying to restrict abortions as an example, then why not?

Is there a way to help others and save lives without going through politics? @SirWhit

Well Paul helped himself quite a lot through politics. When he was in jail he worked through politics quite well and civil authority and his rights.
