The author's incorrect: the government does not belong to his religion, nor does it empower Christians with the right to impose their religion and religious views over the whole populace.

In fact, the Constitution expressly forbids this: that's one of the most important *limits* on what the government can do, by a majority vote or not.

Claiming you have the 'divine right' to vote rights away from others is actually a blanket renunciation of the very authority by which we as citizens of a free Republic claim the right to self-governance.

i can't agree this this:

"Unlike Christians throughout history and in some nations today, American Christians have been empowered by God to shape and guide our government."

All Americans are empowered by the US Constitution and amendments to vote. These rights were fought for inch by inch over many years by many Americans (and even those not considered full citizens at the time) of various backgrounds. Some were perhaps inspired by God but all were inspired by the vision of the equality professed in our great documents set forth by the founding fathers.

Certainly we all have a right to vote as well as responsibility but it rests a foundation created by men and women who wanted the country to live up to it's ideals. I reject that it was given by God because it negates this work and implies that others around the world without the same construct were forgotten by God.

As for voting for God, which election is he running in? All the candidates I saw on my ballot were men and women whom all fall short.

Voting your religion implies that the teachings of your religion are correct. Pretty arrogant path of thought. We know that not all things taught as truth are true. Also, as I have said on other threads no matter how strongly you believe and have faith in something, that doesn't make it right nor does it make it true.

Lord help me, I actually agree with Jordan Sekulow on something. Hope springs eternal.

Almost.

I do agree with his actual words here, if not the implication.

When Jesus said "render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's", he was speaking to a people living under the foreign occupying army of a de facto hereditary monarchy. In the United States, We Are The Government. For those of Us who happen to be Christians, our striving to honor God in our daily lives inevitably extends to voting. Now good Christians can disagree on what that means. For me, it's issues of poverty, justice and civil rights. For others, it may be abortion and abortion alone. I further do not think that we are restricted from voting for Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims or Secular Humanists if they are honorable people who support the secular political causes we believe in.

What I find disturbing (and this goes back to the Reformation) is the Church's insistence on becoming entangled in the process.

Apologies for my reposting something on multiple blogs, but I think it's really relevant in multiple contexts. As I've noted elsewhere, while it has zero relevance in the Catholic Church, almost all Presbyterians subscribe to the 1647 Westminster Confession, which helpfully states:

"God alone is Lord of the conscience, and hath left it free from the doctrines and commandments of men which are in anything contrary to his Word, or beside it in matters of faith or worship. So that to believe such doctrines, or to obey such commandments out of conscience, is to
betray true liberty of conscience; and the requiring an implicit faith, and an absolute and blind obedience, is to destroy liberty of conscience, and reason also."

Of course voting is a religious act to vote for our faith. It says so in all our holy books for we have interpreted it so.

If we don't vote for God as God told us to, want us to for the sake of our faith, we will all go to hell.

Wait..I got that wrong for I don't get things right many times, nor am I righteous at all times.

It is our duty to vote for the self-appointed Vice-Regents and warriors of God to do God's work here on Earth as God wanted and intended according to God's Plan as we understand it for our implementation of the Kingdom of God.
