"But nevertheless God is still in control and he will judge this nation and them accordingly"

God would be in charge of all nations isn't he?

Not doing a bang-up job is he?

GIVE ME A BREAK!

I am fed up with all this rubbish about 'the Christian voter', from Wallace, Pell, Jensen, Abbott.... from Brennan, now from this galah.

"Respond to these profoundly important issues, and give Christians something to care about. Give us a reason to be excited about turning out to the polling booths later this month."

Why should 'the Christians' inherit the Earth?

I am fed up with the total, complete lack of policy announced during this election.. and I am not a Xtian at all.

Why not start demanding 'policy' worth voting for, and forget about the 'policy for Xtians' to vote for.

What next... will we have to tolerate 'Muslim policy', 'Jewish policy', Buddhist policy'... grow up for God's sake, and just start demanding 'policy', please

What are cop out. God is in control and is not doing a great job! The reality is He has given us the responsibility of doing the job. Whenever we fail to be commpassionate to assylum seekrs or rip apart the environment or don't cahallenge our gross materialism etc we can't blame God. It our responsibility as Christians. Lets stand up for these sorts of issues strongly and then surely we will care compassionately about the election outcome and how we vote. All the parties are secular but some reflect more than others the values of God.

http://www.abc.net.au/religion/articles/2010/08/10/2978233.htm is a good response to this question from a Green candidate who is a Christian. Everyone posting here should take the time to absorb THAT.

Dear Be Serious,

I think the Greens and the Sex Party reflect the values of God more than the others. Genesis 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good.

Sex is possibly the best of all the good things. Somehow there is the nonsense in one of the more primitive religions that we are born in sin. We are born as a result of one of God's gifts to us - sexual desire and the ability to satisfy that desire. For the senate I number all my choices. The Greens get first preference because of the concern for the environment which is all of creation. The Australian Sex Party gets next choice because of their attention to a very good part of creation.

You are right. Some parties reflect more than others the values of God.

Which values? The wrath of? The notion a flood will cure our ills? The notion 3 wise men will appear? One wise person from the normal human variation would suffice: male, homosexual, intersex/hermaphrodite, female, whatever.

Not these syncophants who think a whole Govt is but one @$# person.
