Faith and Politics

Just before the election, I sit down with a good friend of mine to ask how faith influences politics.   

We focus on civility, and avoid talking directly about candidates--Jason is in the military, and we tried pretty hard to live up to his promises not to speak against any members of the sitting government. But we still had a thoughtful, interesting discussion.  

How does yours influence yours? (No wrong answers here--and 'worldview' counts too, or ethics, etc.)
