Who are the followers of Jesus going to vote for?



This question is such a powder keg of unknowns that politicians and the media hardly ever mention it. They don't dare because to think about it too much would mean they would have to think too deeply . ... and read that weird book. 
You may say with most post moderns that I am wrong and that Christians are clearly right wing and oh so predictable. Yes the Bible is a series of simple stories.

You would be quite wrong because ever since the Days of Caesar those who want to retain office cannot afford to ignore the weird choices of those who follow Christ . No more Emperor or weird god of your own to worship,,for them !!!

But what could be less boring than not being at all predictable in their political  allegiances .

You might like to lump Christians as  right wingers but everyone  from the Ceasars to Rudd and Albanese  knows we can't be trusted to vote along simple party lines, ever ; 
Observers  are right to talk about weird and unpredictable  --if we think God spoke to us,  we may ignore every party to follow the man whom we think God has chosen - not only weird but very scary for politicians !



Take the Labor Party in Australia who took office in 2007 by standing a Christian and then removing him. I know because this welded on right winger voted for Kevin Rudd, not because he was brilliant and "God's gift to the county" but because the Liberal party were being so beligerantly arrogant about their right to rule .
Yes the sheep are there but always remember they probably occupy both sides of both parties.

DONT UNDERESTIMATE CHRISTIANS who read that book
You see Christians have the best sheep and wolf management policy ever -- "don't trust either of them and don't think yourself God in being able to distinguish  whose playing who at the time.
While considerable numbers of church goers are the very worst kind of sheep ( who don't think) most know better than to box ALL the world's people whom God created in his image ( John 3:16) are to be dumped in one criminal box or another . 
Let alone be simple enough to just lie down and let their hormones take over , The old nature worship never work before ; nature and hormones need not determine how the human animal behaves .
Christians , more than most,  believe in disciplining one' s mind (ie  comes first) and by that means ones body and all its hormones follow from that.  

WHY TRUST THOSE WHO BOX MINDS into left and right 
Which is one reason I can't wear those intellectuals who always have their political meal as a contest between Left and Right .They're sometimes as bad as each either. The clue  being that we the people are fickle shallow and likely to get the government we deserve,

Next week result will be interesting because its obvious, if you have stood in the last decades, that most people simply don't think much about who is best at election times . Only who is worst.
And Andrews is the worst premier Victoria has ever seen , Let's keep praying that our people will at least see that .

So what do we make of the fearmonger Andrews looking fearless but with no more fear andonly only bags of lollies .He's desperate !
Will the average joe blow sus him out ? Will Victorians remember he jailed us for no good reason. I hope so and i can't see why they wouldn't . Most Vics know these blokes are in it for sus reasons.

Many Victorians will sus this confidence trickster cause the remnant of their Christain heritage is that the emperors often wear no clothes .
He's also stupid enough to let his ankle biting minors treat Christian values with contempt .
That might enough.
