For Whom Would Jesus Vote? God only knows

[Wickerman]

Gary Clack--

The great revelation of this election year is that God and his son are partisan political junkies. The second great revelation is the certainty of some people about the political leanings of Jesus.

Last week, in Carrboro, N.C., two University of North Carolina students slapped each other after watching the Bush-Kerry presidential debate. Their argument was about whom Jesus would vote for.

It would seem that if you're passionate to fight over Jesus, you need to do something more forceful than slapping. More importantly, it's obvious that while the two students were confident how Jesus would mark his ballot, it's clear that neither paid heed to one of his more famous and important teachings of turning the other cheek.

I need so much help getting my life and spirit together that God doesn't waste his time discussing with me the outcome of political elections or, what I'd most like to know, this fall's World Series.

I've never been given a copy of the Jesus Voting Guide with the list of candidates Christ has personally endorsed.

1. If God is talking to you . . .

A BUZZFLASH GUEST CONTRIBUTION
by Larry Kearney

If God is talking to you and the result is a burned or crushed child, it’s not God you’re hearing. If you find yourself taking revenge in your head on everyone who ever insulted you, however slightly, you are not one of God’s messengers. If the substance of the information you get from your God is that he requires you to kill in his name, the information is garbage. If your word from God recommends punishing the innocent in any way, for any reason, your God is not God at all but your own mind's sump of resentment, greed and the dream of power.

Is this hard for us to grasp?
