Voting is Imoral?

I read this article today about Problems with modern Government and by extension the author asserts that voting is immoral.

Some of these comments, from Rick Dunaway, are a perfect bulls eye “the desperation to cling to long and deeply held beliefs versus the consideration of the validity of a new set of facts.”

And this one…”, the idea that mankind can change the Laws of God provided a majority of mankind reach an agreement on such a change” This lie evicted Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden (although they outnumbered God two to one),…..

Or “..are merely window dressing, calculated to provide justification for ignoring the Laws of God, and substituting the laws of man..”

Beautiful. When the words of men align with Gods Word to accurately describe something, I just love how it feels. Like when you hit the ball with the bat perfectly,or fire a string of rounds and you were steady on the front site and you didn't flinch or twich on any of the shots, you know its gonna be a nice group. Like butta.

I will take those three statements and re-read them and think about them. They will give my brain a more tangible expression, for what Gods word calls us too. No other Gods before me. As I read the Word and am mulling, meditating on stuff it will be easier to make connections. God says its all tied together. But he also says that it is the glory of kings to search a matter out.

I disagree with Mr. Dunaway's over arching assertion that voting is immoral. But heartily agree with his observations on what our system is and does in violation of Gods Law. If Gods warning on not electing covetous men was understood, it would've taken care of the problem. That is the real problem. Gods own people hold his Law at arms length. Most of the time its just considered as irrelevant.

When Bastiat wrote his book called “the Law” it illustrated this problem of covetousness so well. But by the end of the book he has to just make an assertion on justice, what it is, and without reference to Gods Law. Bastiats Justice is left to just hang in mid air which make it ripe pickings for it to be defined away by another generation. That’s why it all must be tied to Gods Law. It is easier to see what the smooth tongued ones are trying to do when Gods word is the Standard. Amen, Hallelujah! Gods Law, in or out, with me or against me.

There will be those areas that we cannot figure out how to apply Gods word. The problem is not that Gods word is unclear.

Imagine that Gods word lays out parameters for constructing things both explicitly and implicitly. Like blue prints. If you then build , say an entire city, but you really haven't been using the blue prints for one hundred and fifty years. It will be really hard to go and try to apply the blue prints at the present point in time. The harder it is to see how it fits, is like a witness from God on how far we have strayed from his design for that area of life. It is not a testimony to how mysterious His ways are. It also does not follow that we then throw it out because we have trouble making parts fit like they should.

Voting Is Immoral
by Rick Dunaway

…it should be noted that most individuals will have one of three predictable reactions to the following dilemma: the desperation to cling to long and deeply held beliefs versus the consideration of the validity of a new set of facts. First, what we can call the ostrich response: to bury one's head in the sand and pretend no controversy exists. Second, the inconvenient justification, involving staunch refusal to consider the facts laid out, despite their indisputable nature, and seeking to justify actions to render said inconvenient facts inapplicable. Finally, there is the old stand-by of killing the messenger; if the individual attempting to demonstrate the truth can be discredited, then one has no conundrum to reconcile….

…Benjamin Franklin stated "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner." This is one of Satan's most evil tricks, the idea that mankind can change the Laws of God provided a majority of mankind reach an agreement on such a change….

Democratically elected legislative bodies are merely window dressing, calculated to provide justification for ignoring the Laws of God, and substituting the laws of man. Ultimately designed to create an air of legitimacy for the winning group of voters, the result is political rape of the losing group of voters….

God's conversation with Samuel. God said to Samuel, "...they have not rejected you...they have rejected Me from being king over them...they have forsaken Me and served other gods..." (emphasis mine). Today, Americans have chosen not only to reject God as King and to serve other gods, including the god of democracy (man-rule), but also to replace His Laws in favor of man's laws
