An Internet evangelist who is advocating that Christians vote for Jesus as a write-in candidate says he has more than 200,000 people who have committed to do so. However, a political science expert believes the evangelist's demonizing rhetoric about both candidates is not Christ-like.
Bill Keller, who runs LivePrayer.com and offers a daily devotional read by more than 2.4 million subscribers, said Christians face a difficult dilemma this November."It is literally Satan flipping a two-headed coin with his head on both sides. How can a Christian in good conscience vote for President Obama, who has proven to be the most pro-baby killing, pro-radical homosexual, pro-enemy of Israel President in our nation's history," Keller stated in a "Vote for Jesus" campaign update.
"On the other hand, how can a Christian in good conscience vote for Mitt Romney, a 5th generation member and priest of the Satanic Mormon cult," he added. "His Presidency would give his cult the mainstream acceptance they have always wanted since being founded 200 years ago by a documented con-artist, racist, pedophile, polygamist, and murderer named Joseph Smith."
Amy Black, an associate professor of political science at Wheaton College and author of the newly released book, Honoring God in Red or Blue: Approaching Politics with Humility, Grace, and Reason, said she doesn't agree with Keller's categorization of the election.
"I don't view our choice in November as 'literally Satan flipping a two-headed coin with his head on both sides,'" she told The Christian Post on Monday. "Christians should carefully weigh their choices and evaluate both candidates. Some may decide in conscience that they cannot support either one. But using such demonizing rhetoric does little to encourage God-honoring politics."
