This genius is proving the point.
He is applying the qualifications of a church elder to secular elected officials.
All while trying to rebut the arguments of those who have no interest in electing a pastor...
The government may be secular but the Bible is full of examples of the nation of Israel suffering greatly when they installed a wicked ungodly king. The idea that looking at the moral character of a candidate is not a good idea and the sneering reply “we are not electing a paster” is an extremely insulting and stupid argument that the left came up with to defend Bill Clinton. It makes me sick to hear it being used on Free Republic. That said these days Free Republic should probably be renamed Fascist Republic.
Spot on.
