    Lesser of two evils

    Should Christians Vote for the Lesser of Two Evils?


    For years, I have urged Christians to take seriously their obligations as citizens, starting with exercising the right to vote. In the public square and at the ballot box, we must be more engaged, not less.

    But what happens in a race where Christians are faced with two morally problematic choices? Should voters cast a ballot for the lesser of two evils? This unpredictable election cycle could go in any number of directions, and I keep getting asked this question.

    Bobby Knight, when asked what issues drew him to Donald Trump: "what the Hell do I know about issues?"
    Pretty much the entire Trump Cult in one sentence, right there.

    Gonna repost this here:

    Wrong dynamic, you don't choose the lesser of two evils, you choose the candidate who's values most closely match yours. Voting is a privilege and your vote is precious seed and while it sounds good to make a statement by voting for a third party candidate who has no chance of winning you have in essence wasted your vote.

    Look how far this country has fallen just in the last few years... major religious persecutions, liberal abortion policies and multitudes of illegal aliens and unvetted refugees pouring in just to name a few. Would this have happened if Mitt Romney had been elected? No.

    But because some folks thought their conscience wouldn't allow them to vote for Mitt Romney, THEY put Obama in the white house. Thats right, Christians who thought they were doing the 'right' thing are ironically responsible for the extreme liberalism that is trying to sweep thru and destroy our nation.

    Don't make the same mistake again, make sure your vote counts, seriously pray for wisdom on this. There is way too much at stake including the appointments of future Supreme Court Justices who will be making decisions affecting our laws for the durations of their lives.

    I think maybe God is going to remove all our hope in man's power to bring about change before He answers our prayers for revival supernaturally. We HAVE to come to the end of man's reasoning. Perhaps this Trump ascendency and our fearful or angry reaction (including mine at times) reveals how far we've fallen as a church. Yes, I can see the possibility of God in all this, removing our trust in man before He moves.

    I actually agree with you here 100%. Reminds me of an OT passage where God asks why place trust in fast horses...they won't deliver you from your enemy...
    As long as the church believes the polls is the answer for America the longer we remain on this course..
