Just some diversionary thoughts

I had an idea for a story a while back, and now it sounds like I am imitating life. I think this could make a great novel, but I don't think I could do it. Here are the Cliff's Notes for my first novel.

The revival started because of the election of '08. Christians had their choice of an extremely liberal politician, a moderately liberal politician, and a bevy of politicians who couldn't win. Frustration led to low turnouts and the election of the most liberal choice. In despair, someone suggested prayer. Emails started going out suggesting that every American pray for their country at the same time. Soon the country had been blanketed with the idea, and people started doing it. Wherever you were, whatever you were doing, when the time came to pray, you stopped and prayed for just 5 minutes for the country with every (well with a large number of) Christians in America.

Prayer worked! Non-Christians became curious about all this praying, and asked questions -- some got saved. Christians prayed more and became more enthusiastic about being a Christian. And God heard, and began to "heal their land."

As the revival spread, two things changed about America. The first was the church. Churches grew. Their members were more on fire. Those were the kinds of things to be expected. But this revival started with an email and grew on the Internet. Churches found that many of their members were attending from around the world with live streaming. Podcasts of the services were being downloaded by the tens of thousands.

Something else that hadn't been expected was the reaction of professionals who were finding Christ and the Bible for the first time. They were asking "How does being a Christian change how I do my job? Does God talk about being a doctor? a lawyer? a teacher? a soldier? a stock broker? a salesman? a scholar? a psychologist or counselor? a computer programmer? a scientist?" And the church didn't have the answer. But they did have the solution. Small groups of Christians from various professions gathered to study the Bible and find answers to the challenges they were facing. Many of them gathered in fast food restaurants or Starbucks. Others noticed what was happening and joined. They soon found Christ as well. Other groups used online conference software and met from around the country to study. Soon Christians were changing their professional world and becoming an intellectual force to be reckoned with for the first time since the Reformation.

The other thing that changed was America's political scene. It began in 2010 during the congressional races. A number of politicians ran as Christians. Some were Republicans, some were Democrats, and some were Independents. During the 2012 Presidential race, the Christians were faced with a very liberal politician, a fairly liberal politician, and a very conservative politician who couldn't win. They finally voted their convictions and the politician who couldn't win gained 10% of the vote. The very liberal politician won the Presidency and then discovered that the world had changed. Congress was made up of about 1/3 traditional Democrats, 1/3 traditional Republicans, and 1/3 Christians from both parties who refused to voted party when Biblical principles were at stake. The Democrats and Republicans joined into the Democratic Republicans (and Jefferson rolled over in his grave). The Christians united into the Biblical Party.

During the Presidential race, the revival hit talk radio. With talent on loan from God now dedicated to God, talk radio no longer had one half of it brain tied behind its back. The discussion that had gone on in small group Bible studies were now on the radio three hours a day and more.

By 2014, the Bible Party controlled both houses of Congress. The government almost came to a standstill, as the President vetoed almost every bill from Congress and Congress ignored his liberal agenda.

Finally in 2016, an openly Biblical candidate took office as President, narrowly defeating the Democratic-Republican. The Biblical candidate, President HDH, backed by a majority in both houses, began to remodel America using a Biblical worldview.
1. Dismantled the Department of Education, returning education to the States and local communities. The Secretary of Education was just an information disseminator.
2. Over 8 years replaced the entire tax structure with a 10% sales tax on everything but food and used items. No business taxes, estate taxes, etc.
3. Over 8 years welfare was eliminated and HDH put the pressure on the churches and individual Christians to support the poor or help them overcome their problems
4. Held a public debate on Creation- Evolution on prime time TV/radio using the best minds on both sides so the whole country had a chance to determine the truth
5. Proposed an eleven amendment for the bill of rights -- the Right to Life
6. Etc.
