Why Christians refrain from being Democrats is an opinion piece on the issues for Christians with the general Democrat positions.
See Democrats spit on family values
I think that politics and religion should not mix. That is the position that I try to maintain in my own life. But really. If you just take a step back and listen to what Democrats seem to always promote, it is very difficult for the religious side of a person to remain silent.
Abortion
Democrats have become the party of abortions. But their position is not just to allow an abortion, but rather to take an extreme position that most common American citizens don’t take. They want abortions legal up until the moment of birth, and even after the child is born alive. I joked with my wife that most parents would agree to reactivating the abortion option when their kids are teens. But in all seriousness, a Christian cannot agree to abortion. There are other options such as adoption, or an even better option of just owning up to your sinful lifestyle that produces an unwanted child and be an adult about it, and raise YOUR child because you are responsible for your actions before God. Aborting a child is not how a repentant person would act.
Now we turn to how Democrats have mistreated black people on the whole. Why does Planned Parenthood (a favorite of Democrats that get government funding because of Democrats in Congress), why do they target black neighborhoods as locations for their abortion clinics? While you are answering that, answer me this. Why or how can they call themselves Planned PARENTHOOD when their objective is to keep adults from being responsible parents? They should call themselves hiding the consequences of sinful conduct clinics.
Family Values
When we turn to family values, the article I linked to above reveals how Democrats want to destroy the nuclear family made in the image of what God presents us in Scripture because Christian families and the norms and traditions that come with that all stand in their way. They want something out of Satan’s playbook.
Their policies undermine the nuclear family. When we do see anything in any way similar to the nuclear family, it is them making fun of what the Bible commands as serious Christian’s responsibilities.
The real war here is simply these Democrats are against God. They are rebellious people who have never made peace with God, and they are against anybody that is obedient to God.

Problems with Total Depravity or Inability examines the flaws and errors of the Calvinist teaching of Total Depravity (which is really total inability, man is not responsible for his own actions and sins, because he cannot choose sin or obeying God). This is a short article about this point of Calvinism.
The argument of the Calvinists breaks down completely when we examine the Bible and find examples of various individuals that did please God with their lives. Calvinists says that there is nothing at all that any person can do to please God. Yet God views our lives, and in the Bible, certain people did please God like Noah. Maybe the difference was Noah’s life was "better" than everybody's else's wicked lives, but even from that standpoint, God still acted greatly because of Noah's faith and daily relationship with God. When God saves you and your family and kills everybody else on planet earth, that means something.
The bottom line: Calvinism does not take into consideration the places where God looked with approval on various people's lives. Their "system" is fatally flawed, therefore. Good works never save anybody, we can affirm this as true. But the "bottom line" here is that God does approve and disapprove different people's lives. Salvation is only by faith in Jesus Christ the Savior. But what you are depends on what you do. God judges every person, even the elect, and He rewards them as such. Things that God dislikes, God chastises those in hell, for the saved, God causes the elect to lose some of their heavenly rewards for their sins, if not also causing them problems in earth before they die.
