Today’s episode of “WallBuilders Live” featured an audio excerpt from David Barton’s “Biblical Principles and the Political Process” DVD in which Barton explained that Christians must be in charge of crafting public policy at all levels in America or else God will be unable to bless this nation and all citizens will suffer as a consequence.

As Barton explained, God measures the righteousness of a nation “by the public policies they have and how well those policies conform to God’s standards.” Repeating his false claims about the non-discrimination ordinance passed last year in San Antonio, Texas, Barton warned that everyone in San Antonio, even those who opposed the ordinance, will now suffer “because the city has taken a position God cannot bless.”

Just as, in the Bible, all of Israel suffered because of the wickedness of Ahab and Jezebel, so too will everyone in America suffer for electing leaders who do not base public policy on the Bible, he added.

“Even the good guys had to go through the national judgment brought on by bad policies from national leaders,” Barton said. “Even if you disagree with those policies, even if you disagree with non-discrimination ordinances, if your city has one, God’s not going to be able to bless that”:
