Battery Gauge: Positive or Negative Charge?
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.2 Timothy 1:7

More than one person has replaced a car battery only to find the new battery "dead" within a few days. They may even repeat this process several times, blaming a string of "bad batteries." Only when they realize that the problem is not the battery but the alternator do they get back on the road.
A battery stores power to start a car's engine; but the alternator, turned by a belt that is powered by the engine, keeps the battery fully charged. Lose the alternator and, in time, the battery will go dead. The Holy Spirit functions in the Christian's life like an alternator in a car—the source of power that keeps our spiritual batteries charged. Just as a car needs electrical power for many functions—lights, radio, gauges, spark plugs—so the Christian needs spiritual power for many reasons as well: patience, endurance, love, service, resisting temptation, obedience, and others. The primary way to short-circuit the Spirit's power in our lives is to harbor unconfessed sin.
Stay free of unconfessed sin (1 John 1:9) and full of the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 5:18), and you will never lack for spiritual power.
Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers; pray for powers equal to your tasks. Phillips Brooks

Neither David Barton nor the GOP speaks for me. Lumping all evangelical Christian believers in with your incorrect perceived view that all "conservative Evangelical voices" are following your described course of action is just, well, ignorant!

My response?
Ever notice how the DEMONCrats have to push the death of pre-born children and pro-homosexual deathly behavior advocacy to those children who fortunately escaped the abortionists forceps and are abortion survivors from this current evil, liberal left lunatic culture of death in order to rally their crazy base?
How Christian or Christ-like is that?
Jesus Christ certainly had harsh admonitions to those who would lead children astray:
Mat 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and [that] he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
Mar 9:42 And whosoever shall offend one of [these] little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
Luk 17:2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.
