Christians and Politics: Four Different Views from Four Different Professors - A Conversation
*If you are interested in keeping up with Lewis House events and offerings, sign up easily and quickly for our newsletter by visiting* www.lewishouse.org/
Politics. We may or may not like it, but we can’t get around it, especially in a tense election year. How should Christians in America approach today's politics? To help answer this question Lewis House welcomed to the stage four Christian academics from different institutions, each with a different approach to politics. Our goal for this event was simple. We wanted to explore how Christians committed to historic orthodoxy-the authority of the Bible, the theology of the creeds, the historic Christian view of human sexuality, the value and protection of human life at all stages-can approach politics in very different ways. It was a memorable night at the Lewis House marked by wit, laughter, disagreement, common ground, and dialogue. We hope you enjoy the discussion as much as we did and are encouraged by the fact that while we may sit on different sides of the political aisle, we can sit together in the pew.

Dr. Kevin Brown is the President of Asbury University in Wilmore, KY. In this talk, he suggests that while the popular aphorism “be true to yourself” is frequently used and ubiquitously advertised-the advice is difficult, if not impossible, to follow.

    The Christ fantasy ignores Jesus saying, "This is a wicked generation seeking signs, the only sign given is Jonah," a believer murdered by a larger number of believers. The King of the Jews is mounted on a stick, because Romans made a parody of the avatar, the icon. "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, cursed is everyone that hangeth on a tree:" Galatians 3:13

    Faith advocates violence. "Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rise against their parents and have them put to death." Come little children, let them suffer Jesus, it is the wolves in sheep clothing, those singing to the choir, who indoctrinate children with fantasy, which prophesy is. It is by Faith, Moses becomes the worst navigator in history. Jesus said, it is a wicked generation which seeks signs such as resurrection. Faith is as worthless as fantasyland magic, since you can't tell mountains to move. The "only sign given" in reality "is Jonah": A believer murdered by other believers because he is outnumbered. The context is Jesus seeing a gathering crowd, so it is up to us, to reject religious nonsense, nothing fails like prayers in a children's hospital. Believers have no sense of responsibility, or standards. Theologians grant each other doctorates, as if, equal to a science. It is a, have it both ways world, for the believers. It is an authoritarian, fascist world which says: "My sheep hear My voice".

      It genuinely baffles me that someone can honestly believe Christianity has been a force for evil in human history. But thanks for watching the video and engaging!

    Truth is: There is a fine line between fishing and standing on the shore looking like an idiot & nothing fails like prayers in a children's hospital. Faith attracts folks with low esteem by pretending it is OK, pretending a relationship with a deity & magical powers like prayer. Men have always known faith as a farce, a means of social control, state propaganda, fiction, rhetoric. The great evil of faith is it serving as a mask for insanity & authoritarians. Faith's crime is indoctrinating children with fantasyland. The King of the Jews would not end up stuck to a stick unless Jesus was a Roman Joke. Is faith more respectable when you find prophets & cherubim in the Yellow Pages? Faith creates reality trolls yammering in public. Does it take anything more than outrageous gall, ultimate audacity, to express knowing something of a deity? Faith feeds followers with ludicrous nonsense: Numbers 12:3 Now Moses was a very humble man, more so than any man on the face of the earth. "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, cursed is everyone that hangeth on a tree:" - Galatians 3:13

    This is really interesting but in 45 minutes there have been 10 ads. Is it really necessary to have that many ads? This makes it difficult to grasp what James is saying.

      Delusion & conceit, not humor & brilliance. Theology is weak sauce One might expect a deity, if there were such a thing, would be known by everyone or is fudging the title a bit. The fraud of religious people is revealed by the failure rate of prayers in a children's hospital & the lack of mountains moving by verbal commands. Theologians grant themselves the title without any input from a deity & then use fantasyland vocabulary in academic settings, usually as a podium jockey with clergyman dress. But if I can't use my weak argument, then I don't have an argument at all. Those arguing God, get their knowledge of deity from the same place they get understanding of reason. Rather than a beacon of inspirational light, they are avoided like the old woman with too many cats. It was secular law & order ending the inquisitions & witch killing. Nothing fails like prayer in a children's hospital & even Jesus Christ proclaims faith is worthless if you can't get magic mountains to move when you practice verbal-command landscaping. No wonder Freud wrote the antidote to Christianity is literacy. These are the wolves in sheep's clothing, you know them by their works: Who has honor while suggesting a reality-God? As if we did not have the saying: God helps those helping themselves, because the fiction is known for a perfect record of nothing-doing. Moreover, it cannot be moral or ethical to suggest there is a god. As if one should respect the suggestion, we all travel with one foot in fantasyland, using a fantasyland vocabulary. It is religious vocabulary fascism finds useful. Law is authorized from fantasyland & the workings are a mystery, unknown to the non-believers among the oppressed. I grew up in line to be sent to fight in the "Vietnam Conflict." I don't expect much from the national bomb-factory, so I don't vote. I tell people to consider this a prison without bars. Read the Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars.

    Man made god nonsense .These are the people who believe in a book about talking animals, wizards, witches, demons, people walking on water, rising from the dead, sticks turning into snakes, food falling from the sky , burning bushes, all sorts of absurd primitive stories. Also humans coexisted with Dinosaurs , delusional in the extreme

    “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me,is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.”” John‬ ‭10‬:‭27‬-‭30‬
