I doubt seriously that you agree with Calvin’s politics. Calvin would not straighten this mess out. He’d form a monstrous embrace of church and state like he did in Geneva.
I am for American Christianity actually READING the bible when it describes the fallen nature of man and quit imagining some pipe dream where "Christian" men somehow enter a realm where they are not corruptible.
You would think that after 28 years of political disappointments, they might say "ya know, this 'godly leader' stuff hasn't worked out like we thought. Maybe we ought to look and see what the founders said about limiting power because THEY DON'T TRUST MEN TO STAY 'GODLY' ONCE THEY BECOME 'LEADERS'"
Nope. Same stupid braying that we need God's laws and society will crumble without them (true, but totally irrelevant to the issue at hand). Same naive insistence that what we need are men in DC who can quote the Bible, and then we can just blindly follow them. Look, John Kasich attended a bible study in DC, claimed CS Lewis was his fave author. Do you have any idea of the sexual perversion that went on with him? Do you know why he chose not to run again???? Men are fallible. Men are weak. Men are SINFUL. YOU CAN'T TRUST THEM WITH POWER. Instead, you spread the power out as much as possible.
Until American Christians wake up and figure out that "biblical government" by definition means LIMITED FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, then they will simply be mirror images of the godless, except they will worship the state IN THE NAME OF worshipping God. The end result will be the same, though.
