From Doug Giles:

For the "Christian" to lean politically to the left means that he must blow off huge chunks of the Bible and replace the scripture with the make-believe notions of postmodernism's malleable "Christ." Only after torturing the scripture can the Christian then fit liberalism into his supposed relationship with God. [  ]

Liberalism has been hijacked by bizarre special-interest thugs who defy the Word of God and believe that the Bible has no place in public life (except maybe in a museum where people can look at it from time to time). [   ]

If the Christophobic thugs had it their way, Christians would be relegated to a marginalized spiritual ghetto on the sidelines of life. [    ]

Consider this, Christian pastor and Christian lay person looking to vote for the ludicrous left: the secular Mafioso's intent is to make your ministerial life difficult, your evangelistic work taxing and your voice minimized. And good luck, pastor and church committee, in trying to buy property and get zoning with the anti-Christian libs at the helm. [   ]

The Democratic Party's liberalism has degenerated over the last 40-50 years in regard to its view of Christianity and Christian rights. This party, which formerly embraced and protected our nation's great Christian heritage and teachings, no longer does so. Thus, today the Christian is between a rock and a hard place: he can either be a Christian or a liberal--but he cannot be both.

From Biblical Worldview's review of Jimmy Carter's recent book:

Jimmy Carter, America's 39th President (1977-1980), unequivocally has revealed himself to be an "imposter" Christian--joining ranks with the "men of depraved minds" that the Apostle Paul warns about in 2 Timothy Chapter 3. [   ]

Consensus is Carter's highest virtue, not Truth.The Apostle Paul warns us in 2 Timothy about men "having a form of godliness
but denying its power" and exhorts us to "Have nothing to do with them" (v 5). [   ]

Readers will seek in vain for Carter to discover, much less propose, authentic Christian solutions to today's moral crises. [   ]

Carter promotes "a different gospel--which is really no gospel at all" (Gal 1:7). This "gospel" preaches tolerance with no regard for Truth. [   ]

The most alarming maneuver is his moral equivalency of "Christian Fundamentalism" (his words) with militant Islam and other evil institutions like Imperial Japan's prisoner-of-war torture camps during World War II. Carter summarizes that all of these "more intense forms of fundamentalism" have these in common: "rigidity, domination, and exclusion." (pp 34-35). Carter deftly casts such terms in an extremely negative context, but do they
not describe Truth as well?

* Truth is rigid because it never changes. * Truth dominates because it declares what is always good and what is always evil. * Truth excludes because those who reject Christ will be separated from God for eternity, just as light always casts aside darkness.

If, as Carter proposes, we are to reject all things rigid, dominating, and exclusive, then where does that leave Truth?"They exchanged the truth of God for a lie," Paul writes regarding the outcome of "men who suppress the truth...their thinking
became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened...although they claimed to be wise, they became fools" (Rom 1:18-25).

In Our Endangered Values, Carter erroneously blames (wouldn't Carter call it "judging"?) Christians who follow the whole counsel of God ("fundamentalists") as the source of our cultural and political problems. Jude 19 provides the true assessment. Regarding those who reject God's Truth, Jude concludes, "These are the men who divide you." In Our Endangered Values, Carter attempts to offer a prescription to heal our divided nation and world. In truth, Carter's medicine is deadly poison.
