Florida Church Ditched As Polling Site Over Sign Telling Christians Not To Vote For Democrats

[Lakhota]

“There is a line drawn in the sand by Jesus that we ought not cross,” Al Carlisle, pastor of Grace of God Church, said about the message behind his Election Day sign.

A Florida church will no longer serve as a polling location after its pastor put up a sign on Election Day that suggested Christians shouldn’t vote for Democrats.

Pasco County Supervisor of Elections Brian Corley told HuffPost that he received hundreds of complaints on Nov. 6 about the controversial sign at New Port Richey’s Grace of God Church.

The sign, handwritten in marker on white paper, read, “Don’t vote for Democrats on Tuesday and sing, ‘Oh how I love Jesus’ on Sunday.”

Corley said the church’s senior pastor, Al Carlisle, put up the sign and refused the supervisor’s requests to take it down.

Wow, this pastor really crossed the line on Election Day. What do you think?

 

[bodecea]

Why am I not surprised.

Well, considering that there is no electioneering within a certain distance of the polling place entrance, this sign is clearly electioneering for the Republicans AT the entrance to the polling place.

Clearly in violation of election laws.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

But no laws were broken...funny you left that out

Wrong....

According to the Pasco County supervisor of elections, the sign meets the requirements of being further than 100 feet from the entrance of the polling place or the "no solicitation zone." Beyond that 100 feet, the supervisor of elections office says it's private property.

Imagine the religious nonsense and voter intimidation that was going on inside the church.

Yeah like most of your garbage, imagination.

You should stop relying on Huffingpaint

Sadly, many voters had no choice where to vote since this was the designated voting site for their area. Voters should not have to tolerate such religious nonsense on Election Day.

You must go at all the posts that prove you wrong.

Like 3. And 5. Both of which state no-brainers that anyone who's actually voted already knows.
I wouldn't know how it is in Russia but here you absolutely cannot do that.

I can just imagine.

You know, it really floors me when preachers and the like tell their people what Jesus would and wouldn't approve of when it comes to politics.

Hate to tell you guys, but I don't really think that God or Jesus spends very much of their time thinking about who we elect. I think they would be more concerned about how we treat each other than how we vote.

Besides........................how many times have Christians repeatedly told others that nobody can truly know the mind of God. If that is true, they why are they telling other people how God would vote? They wouldn't know, because they say that no man can know the mind of God.

Hypocrites is all they are.

He totally violated the rules.

You are not supposed to "electioneere" within a certain distance.

Besides, this is a violation of trust.

I may agree with the guy....but you can't do this.

I am sure you can imagine a great deal.

Suppose you provide some evidence.

Well the Pope compared abortion to the Nazi Holocaust as the official position of the church is that it is genocide.

Then again, those Nazi socialists sure did have swell social programs to vote for, don't they?

I reckon that is the bait and hook.

I wonder how many Christians voted for the Nazi socialists.
