HWJV
(how would Jesus vote?)

[kingattax]

no way could a true Christian vote for kerry or any liberal.

period !

This does not help.

The religious are already voting Republican.

We are down to converting the moderates and undecideds, and they are largely frightened of the power of the "Religious Fundamentalists" and this is going to scare many away.

HWJV? - Read the references to His instruction manual in the post and see if you can figure it out for yourself.

Where's the capital "B" in Biblical?

[M Kehoe]

I'll bump this so that a liberal/socialist/secular humanist may read it...just to pi$$ them off.

I believe an upper case "B" is used in direct reference to the Bible, not something that is biblical. The titel does not have a direct reference to any one verse of scripture. If I am wrong, then I stand corrected.

WADR, even evangelical Christians in 2000 voted only about 60% to 40%, for Bush over Gore. There is much, much work to be done by those who give themselves nominal labels, while living according to their own ephemeral and faulty desires.

If people are frightened by the involvement of God in His world, they can pay attention and learn about that which frightens them.

Here are the communistic assertions of the leftist "Christians," for comparison:

...in their obfuscatory "God is not a Republican. Or a Democrat" petition.

It's done either way (which tends often, to be a bit revelatory, in itself).

I wouldn't have written the Environmentalism paragraph the way it is in this petition. By implication, it seems to leave no room for preserving any wild lands, which seems pretty silly and invites criticism.

I don't think they are frightened of God's presence in politics.
They are afraid of loudmouthed preachers like Pat Robertson and Jimmy Swaggert who claim that God has spoken to them personally, and that to disagree with them is to defy God.

Thank you for posting this, SLB.

It is wonderfully encouraging to read this, and from a major website.

I haven't paid much attention to Jimmy Saggert, especially after his attempts to regain status.

As for Pat Roberson, I have paid quite a bit of attention and have not found him to claim that to disagree with him is to defy God. That is a common charge though, against those who stand up for God's clear communication of truth, via His Word.

Not to mention that a huge number of evangelicals didn't even bother to vote!!
