Here is an interesting post by Joe Carter of the Evangelical Outpost:
"As becomes apparent, the Gnostic deification of governance resembles the Roman god Zeus more than it does Jehovah or Allah. The Gnostic government is omnipotent, but not omniscient; transcendent and also immanent; impersonal and yet represented in various human forms (i.e., President Bush). The god is also arbitrary and showers blessings on those it loves (the rich, welfare recipients, white men) and ignores those who it despises (the poor, minorities, white men); able to save all and yet arbitrarily chooses limited atonement. It is a fickle god that commands our succor but is unworthy of adoration.
"Over the next few weeks, the primary question will be 'Which part of the government is to blame?' and will be hashed over by the various Gnostic sects the way Lutherans and Presbyterians argue over baptism. A few heretics (like me) may step forward to claim that maybe -- just maybe -- the government really can’t save us all. After an audible gasp, we apostates will be shouted down and ushered to the door by a stern deacon. We’ll stand outside the gates of the public square, shrugging and casting bemused looks at one another. As we walk away, with the din of 'Bush!', 'Class!', 'Race!', and 'FEMA!' echoing behind us, we’ll reflect on the nature of government and remember where our true salvation lies."
