"But a month ago, you wrote this:

Our history is replete with examples of just how "democratic" our Calvinist brothers and sisters have been. They overwhelming denied voting and participation rights to persons based upon race, gender, literacy, and property ownership. They are all for a system in which the actions of others can be dictated, providing they are doing the dictating.

Given the choice between a system, as Voris describes, in which the unvirtuous can vote and the rights of all are subject to the will of the mob, and a system administered by those sworn to obeying Gods laws I would still choose the later, but not in preference to a system obedient to God's will that each are endowed with inalienable rights by God.

And do you agree with Voris that only Catholics are capable of voting? How about Catholics and evangelical Baptist? How about Reformers (we already know the answer to that)? How about liberal churches?

Frankly, God tells us we're all corrupt. So how do you pick and choose who have the "right" morals? If your criteria is based upon those "sworn" to obeying God's laws, we know how well this has worked out over the years.
