There are 700 foster children cleared for adoption in Colorado. There are 3,310 churches.

The Bible is crystal clear on God's heart for orphans, why are there any in Colorado? If every church in Colorado had 1 family that obey God's call to adoption of just 1 child, we would adopt all of Colorado's orphans, as well as all the free-for-adoption foster kids in New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming and Nebraska.

If we were to really be following God's heart - and his commands about taking care of orphans, wouldn't we be adopting these children?

Are we engaged in corporate disobedience as a church?

At the time of this writing, 49% of California votes have been counted and it looks like they will get a narrow majority to amend the constitution to define marriage traditionally and require parental notification (though not permission) for abortion. A few other states are also amending their constitutions to retain the definition of marriage. [source, source]

Locally here in Colorado, we're still waiting on the rest of the votes to be counted about some of the very important ballot initiatives.

In response to an article posted by a friend on Facebook here.

Basically every argument comes down to abandoning our personal responsibility to follow God's commands, saying the government should do it so we don't have to. I think that's unbiblical. God is foremost concerned with how you live. Nationalizing or socializing every personal command from God and every principle of the Christian life just reveals what I think is a very ignorant understanding of the Bible.

1. "The environment is an important cause for me."
   
   In this election the Republicans are more environmentally friendly, wanting to try every possible option on how to protect the environment. Of course the Democrats have been spending years trying to make you afraid and tell you only they can cure the guilt and fear they've built up on you.
   
   
2. "The care of the poor is important to me too. Not because of my politics but because of the Bible. Caring for the poor is not an option for anyone who takes a serious reading of the Bible—it is a demand and even a test of whether I am really a Christian."
   
   Republican job creation helps the poor much more than the Democrat welfare-state.
   
   
3. "As for health care I believe deeply in some sort of a nationalized system that considers justice and compassion over the medical cartel’s profits. When a nation finds people beaten and bleeding by the road I think they can’t respond with, “Take responsibility for your own problems” or “Too bad—doesn’t your employer have insurance.” A real Good Samaritan pays the bill. So would a “Christian nation.” "
   
   It's the law in the United States that any ER or doctors office has to accept a needy patient. I've had individual health coverage that was cheaper than my employer paid insurance. We also have Medicare for the elderly and Medicaid for the old.
   
   "I find even many Democrats wrong on this issue too and hope we will bring a system something like that of Canada to this country.. I know all Americans say Canadians and Europeans hate their system but it simply isn’t true. I’ve met plenty who praise it..."
   
   Sure, the healthy ones. As a Canadian immigrant, I'm convinced my grandparents would have lived longer if they had the free market health care system. "I've met some Canadians who have never had serious medical needs and they like their health care" is not a valid argument. When Canadians are in serious medical condition, they come to the United States for treatment if they can afford it. A few years back the Canadian government experimented with a way to lower their cost of medical treatment for the homeless who got injured while hung-over... could the government save money by just keeping the homeless drunk until they died? The socialized health care puts a price tag on everyone's head. If your productivity to the economy does not outweigh the cost of your chemotherapy, it's just worthwhile to let you die. That's no "Christian" healthcare.
   
   
4. "I’m with the Democrats on feminism too—though most Republicans now pretend they’ve been there all the time. I think women should not be denied their rights because they are women."
   
   Name one Republican in elected office who thinks women should not have their civil rights? their voting rights? their legal rights? their rights to justice if they are being discriminated by their employer?
   
   When Democrats talk about women's rights, they usualy only mean abortion. That's not a virtue.
   
   
5. I’m with the Democrats on minimum wage too...But its not [mostly middle class] college kids I care most about—it is the poor workers that serve my hamburgers. They have no hope of making a living without college.
   
   There are plenty of wealthy Americans without a college education. Mechanics, plumbers, even computer programmers. Here's a fact: If 100% of working Americans had a college degree, someone will be serving hamburgers and will be poor. They'll just be poor with a college degree. We don't live in medieval Europe. Many of the wealthiest Americans are immigrants of the children of immigrants who came here poor and worked their way up through hard work.
   
   You want to adjust minimum wage for inflation, but minimum wage increases are the cause of inflation.
   
   
6. I oppose handguns and think they should be illegal for citizens to tote around. I see no reason why a Christian would want to promote the use of handguns—what possible good is it to let handguns proliferate? ... If God’s “will was done on earth as it is in heaven” there’d be no handguns.
   
   Remember there was a time when Jesus told his disciples it was ok for they to carry swords!
   
   You can be a good Christian and be against gun rights. You just can't be a good American. "what possible good is it to let handguns proliferate?" You're kidding right? Have you ever read the constitution? America with all it's freedoms would have never existed if the corrupt government rule were not overthrown, and that came down to using guns. We are allowed guns by the constitution to protect our inalienable God-given rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit.
   
   
7. I generally favor increased taxation of citizens who are better off I can’t see how one would have any other position and be true to the Bible... I wish people did it personally. It is a nice idea. But, have you seen this happening much?
   
   Yes, but by-and-large only among Republicans your Democrats don't.
   
   If we did away with all taxes would you give your taxes to the poor?
   
   Yes. But again, really only among Republicans.
   
   Really?
   
   Yes. You must only hang out with Democrats who don't give money.
   
   Since churches are not taxed do you see the church giving generously to the poor?
   
   Yes.
   
   Really?
   
   Yes. What kind of church do you go to that doesn't help the poor? On top of the regular partnerships we have with inner city ministries we have special offerings for this, we give food to food banks, we tutor and volunteer in other ways at the inner-city outreaches. You really do none of this? Why? How do you get away with so abandoning the teachings of Christ?
   
   Jesus never taught me about what the government should do, he taught me about what I should do. My responsibility is to live as a follower of Christ, not to force other people to live as if their followers of Christ, forcing them to give my government their money so I can do with it as I see fit.
   
   
8. I do not believe the government should write school prayers—students should say their own prayers.
   
   Who argues that the government should write school prayers? The Democrats and their pals in the ACLU are trying to take away students rights to pray at all, even silently!
   
   
9. I think excessive nationalistic military spending is sinful for any nation...But war-making is sin—even if we have to do it...
   
   "Excessive" is completely relative, so it's hard to see any meaning in what you wrote.
   
   If war is necessary, how can it be sinful? You really believe that sometimes it's necessary to sin, to go against God's will? Was it sin to stop Hitler? Was it a sin for us to help the poor and oppressed who were being slaughtered?
   
   
10. I believe national self-interest is selfishness and thus sinful
    
    The Republican Bush has increased financial humanitarian aid to Africa with little or no national self-interest, and Democrats argue against it because of this.
    
    How can you say the Democrats are less self-interested? They never came close to the humanitarian aid that Bush has done, they don't care about the employment of the poor in other countries, they want to punish companies for giving jobs to the poor overseas. (Those would be the minimum wage jobs that you said don't help anyone in America.)
    
    
11. I believe that God wants capital punishment banished from the earth...I’d still be against it as a Biblical value even if we were killing all rich white men.
    
    I'm not sure why you think killing all the rich, or all the whites, or all men seems to be preferable to killing criminals.
    
    God himself instituted capital punishment in Genesis 9 as a law for all human descendants of the only survivors of the flood. If you're a human, this applies. (No, this wasn't a law just for the Israelites leaving Egypt. This was a law for all humans well before Abraham.)
    
    
12. Democrats often like centralized governments and weaker “states rights.” So do I. I can’t pin this one on my theology or the Bible
    
    Then it's completely irrelevant as to how a Christian could vote Democrat. You wrote that a constitutional argument was no good for arguing for the right to bear arms because it wasn't a Biblical argument, then you go on to make a series of non-Biblical arguments starting here.
    
    
13. On the size of government I reject the argument, “that the government which governs best governs least” ... But I can’t say this is due to my theology or the Bible either.
    
    Then it's completely irrelevant as to how a Christian could vote Democrat.
    
    
14. I believe the tobacco and alcohol industries should pay restitution for their evils... Since I can’t make them illegal in this country I’d like to regulate them out of existence.
    
    You believe the role the government is to punish behavior that you see as "evil" even if you can't argue that it should be illegal? I don't think the role of the government is to be moral police. If something is truly evil, it should be illegal. I think it's an abuse of power to tell someone that something is legal, then when they do it to punish them "out of existence."
    
    
15. I believe corporations who have paid less and less of the tax burden over the last three decades should pay far more until they are paying their fair share. Yes, I know that merely “raises the price of the product” to the consumers. But buying their product is my choice so I don’t need to buy it if I don’t want to...
    
    Logically, if you increase taxes on all corporations, the prices of all goods will go up. How can you have a choice to not buy if you "don't want to" - most of us aren't in a place where we can go without buying anything if that's our choice.
    
    
16. I think we ought to have more strict emissions standards because we should be stewards of the air God has given us.
    
    I think the Republican candidate agrees with you on this.
    
    
17. I think we need strong OSHA rules because the rich are bound by God to care for their workers.
    
    This is a really minor issue I'm not sure it's worth addressing. I haven't heard anyone arguing to get rid of OSHA, least of all among the candidates up for election right now. If your employer doesn't provide a safe environment, they'll lose employees and will have to fix the situation to stay in business.
    
    
18. "I think we need massive initiatives in education because the Bible calls us to bring up the next generation. I’d even be satisfied if we’d put 10% of the money we’ve been squandering in Iraq...into grants for college students. And, another 10% into public elementary and secondary education. Where’d we get the idea that a Christian should be for low taxes and against education?"
    
    I've never heard anyone arguing against education. Ever. (With the exception of Pink Floyd.) The debate is about government monopolized education, where only the rich like Obama can afford private schooling. It's a matter of social justice to allow everyone right to choice in education, and the Democrats are opposed to equal rights for education.
    
    We're squandering money in Iraq, but we're not squandering money on education? The United States spends more per student on public school education than any other country in the world, yet our test scores are not improving (per CNN here). This isn't a matter of funding. It's a matter of poorly run schools.
    

So... how could a Christian vote Democrat?

By not understanding the Bible, and not thinking critically.
