how-would-jesus-vote.jpg

You should see the intro page to this book put out by Strang Communications. Patriotic, whew, you betcha. Nationalistic. Hooo rah. Every inch of it. Flash razzle dazzle with the red white and blue.   
William. H. Carney is letting his fellow citizens know that Jesus wouldn’t vote for a Democrat and at least one of the Republicans.

Gimmicky.
Sure.
Strang Communications is good at this. 
The concept that Jesus Christ isn’t a US citizen and only said render unto Caesar because he saw through duplicity isn’t going to sell this book.  
Carney wants you to know you have to vote according to the bible according to fundamentalist dominionism.
This is the Word/Faith Apostolic movement wrapped in a flag., apostolic mayhem.
This issues raised are ‘out there’, not ‘ours’ and have to be ‘opposed.’
Taxes, war, national defense, same sex marriage, abortion, prayer in the schools.

Carney starts off by asking a simple question: “If Jesus were a United States citizen, having all the legal rights and responsibilities of voting, according to what standards would he vote?” Carney delicately weaves through ten tumultuous topics, including taxes, same sex marriage, and war and national defense.

What comes through loud and clear in these 61 pages is Carney’s passion to help readers not be swayed “by the economy, the media, the current popular opinion, or what is seemingly correct.” In discussing each topic, he encourages readers to “not sit outside the political arena.” To that end, he arms them with wonderful insight with biblical backing to reveal the truth of how Jesus would vote on each topic.

Concerning abortion, he notes, “It is clearly Satan’s agenda manifested in the earth.” Cleary, that can be said of any of the topics, particularly prayer in the schools.

And if you don’t know what the bible says, Carney isn’t shy about telling you what he says it does so you will have:

…the ability to vote correctly on each issue and turn the tide on humanistic agendas.

Simplistic. Yes. 
And frankly, sad.
