How does your WV inform your politics?

(Bold mine)

What if someone’s religion informed them that it was best for government to feed the hungry, house the homeless, and care for the sick. Would you want them to vote that way?

Not on that basis, no.  I'd rather they only voted if such a view was informed by reason.

So it's not about results, but rather about how they arrive at their decision? It's not so much about real-world results, but moral dudgeon? I volunteered at a religious food bank about 15 years ago. They handed out food, no questions asked, to anyone who showed up, with no religious requirements (attending church, avowing belief, and so on) at all.

Was I wrong? Were they wrong? Are your personal feelings really more important than helping the needy? I didn't feel my opinion was more important than their hunger.
