Why I am not Voting for Joe Biden

I recently shared why I am not voting for Donald Trump because, as a conservative who often criticizes the Left, some people might get the impression that I am a Trump supporter.  Lest there is any misinformed individual out there who took my rejection of Trump as an endorsement of Biden, here is why I am not voting for Biden.

My reasoning is simple, really.  

I am a Christian.  

I am a conservative.  

I believe leaders should be honest.  

I believe in freedom and equity for all people.  

I am distrustful of the American aristocracy.

If you agree with those statements, you should not vote for Joe Biden.

Joe Biden, if he stands for anything at all, stands against everything that the historic Christian Church has taught.  He vocally supports abortion and the LGBT agenda, which should be enough to keep any Christian from voting for him.  He is not a Christian, nor is he a friend to the Christian Church.

Joe Biden has embraced the most progressive positions possible.  I am willing to admit that, always the consummate politician, Joe is just saying what he needs to say to get elected, but he has espoused ultra-progressive positions on nearly every issue, from the environment to abortion to economics.

Joe Biden is a liar.  As mentioned above, he will say anything his handlers tell him to say to get elected (sometimes they literally speak it into his earpiece).  Moreover, he has a well-documented history of plagiarism throughout his career.  It is mind-blowing that he has ever been elected to any office given his strained relationship with the truth.   

Joe Biden is a Statist.  If Uncle Joe believes in anyone or anything, it's Uncle Sam. Moreover, he has consistently created oppressive policies that are particularly harmful to minorities.  His campaign has made no attempt to hide his plans to increase regulation and taxes.

Joe Biden and his family are members of American's unofficial aristocracy.  If you were looking for someone who epitomizes the career politician who has spent decades living above the law, Joe is your guy.  He is everything that is wrong with politics.   

I have chosen not to vote for Donald Trump, but I can understand why many Christians feel the need to vote for him.  However, I cannot fathom how a genuine believer could vote for Joe Biden, given his personal history and political positions.

"Father, Forgive Them"

“Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” Forgiveness is hard.  Forgiveness is really, really hard. It’s difficult to forgive others who have genuinely harmed or offended us.   It’s easy to say , “I forgive you,” but it’s extremely difficult to feel it–to make peace in our hearts with the injustices that others have perpetrated against us. It just doesn’t feel right.  Sin should be punished!  Wrongs should be righted!  Right?! It’s difficult to forgive others when they ask for it.  It’s even more difficult to forgive them when they haven’t asked for it–when they don’t even recognize what they’ve done to hurt us. As our Savior hung upon His Cross, He asked the Father to forgive those nearby–those who were unwittingly contributing to the greatest injustice in the history of the world. These thieves, soldiers, and standers-by had no idea what was happening.  They had no idea that the jealousy of the Jews had placed Christ on that Cross...

The Real Presence & Paedocommunion: A Deeper Rift Between Reformed Churches

You're going back to Rome! Theological disagreements within the Reformed world, especially those of the last half century, often devolve into these sorts of accusations.  As controversialists like Doug Wilson and Peter Leithart began to break away from the larger conservative Presbyterian and Reformed denominations, it became clear that the rift was deeper than semantics and systematic minutiae.  Much like the Reformation four centuries before, the Table was a primary point of conflict.   What does it mean?  Who may partake?  What do we call it?    These questions, along with a few more, divided Reformed brethren as the physical elements of our religion reflected deeper conflicts.  Good men began to understand that the problem wasn't just in our logos, but in our pathos and ethos, as well. Paedocommunion (hereafter PC) has been one of the hottest points of contention.  PC has always been normal to me as I grew up with it.  I underst...

"The More Things Change..." or "Joe Biden Doing Joe Biden Things"

1 Samuel 2  relates the story of Eli, the well-meaning high priest whose only flaw (apparently) was his refusal to discipline his sons.  These sons, described as worthless men , utilized their position to abuse the people and indulge their lusts with impunity.  Eli's dereliction of duty brought his otherwise noble career in service to God's house to an ignominious end.   There are, of course, important differences between Eli and Joe Biden.  Joe Biden is not a religious leader (though he is a practicing Roman Catholic ), nor would I consider his record to be otherwise spotless.  However, similarly to Eli,  Biden's pardoning of his own  worthless son, Hunter, will prove to be his legacy.  His long (and I mean loooong) career in politics will likely be overshadowed, even in the eyes of those who previously respected him, by this one shameless act.  By pardoning his son despite  promising not to, Biden has yet again demonstrate...
