THE Christian Democratic Party has called on the ANC not to draw parallels between voting for the ruling party and carrying out God's will.
"We insist that the ANC stop this blasphemy. God is not a political gimmick," CDP leader Theunis Botha said.
The party felt the ANC was showing "impertinence" by comparing the Freedom Charter, a document that sets out aspirations of equality, and the Bible, a text which documents Christian history and beliefs.
This was an attempt by the ruling party to portray itself as Christian and saintly, said Botha.
He complained it was doing this at the same time as not scrapping laws that permit abortion, gambling and pornography.
