The real question here is Jesus a Republican? Pastor Warren has said nothing on this issue and I doubt he will. Ditto for Alan Wolfe.
It is a question that one can only answer for oneself unless the person has spoken otherwise. Anything else is but a variant of name calling.
As far as I am concerned Jesus is not a Republican. I doubt if that is his purpose for us. If we are indeed saved by grace rather than works such a position surely makes sense although one can anticipate disagreements.
Before you all answer and condemn too quickly I have a short story for you. I spent decades doing forensic psychiatry in jails, state and federal prisons as well as assessing for trial on the basis of criminal responsibility and competence to stand trial.
Being a friendly sort I would try to make contact with those being evaluated. If I were successful I would as a mater of routine find out their values. Many of the interviewees were hard core criminals with heinous offenses.
When I asked about political views I was always taken back by two responses--the high number of Republicans and the sincere desire if they had it to do over again they would be a law enforcement officer.
I was also pleasantly surprised by finding many of the most serious and longest stay felons routinely showed considerable compassion and help for others.
I am uncertain what all of this means but not everything we say is congruent what we really are. In this sense it is quite possible for an Evangelical pastor to vote Democrat and have sincere and laudable reasons for doing so. Politics is such that no one can find a politician that agrees 100% with 100% of what one holds dear.
That is the human condition. I hope Pastor Warren votes Republican but if he doesn't that is okay too. His real job is leading people to Christ and in this I think he succeeds and then some.
In this sense it is quite possible for an Evangelical pastor to vote Democrat and have sincere and laudable reasons for doing so.I agree, although it takes a considerable ... er, mental block ... to ignore live-birth abortion while focussing on other reasons for voting. (This would not be a top priority in voting for, say, a county sheriff or a state representative, but certainly ought to be a major consideration for President and U.S. Senate elections.)
In addition, as I mentioned, at some point sentimentality should yield to reality. Condom handouts do not stop the spread of AIDS. Higher minimum wages do not help the poor. More money for education doesn't improve outcomes. And so on.
