Voting for Romney, is sin to us. And we will not do it...So feel free to lick the hands...

This discussion has a similar feel to the discussion of whether one should purchase and eat food offered to idols. The Apostle Paul instructs that while the food that one eats can not defile a believer, nevertheless, a believer should follow his conscience.

I'm sure that Paul would have argued that worshiping idols is by definition, evil, however food is not evil in and of itself.

Similarly, in our day we face a decision of conscience. Has Mitt acquiesced to evil? Yes, when it came to supporting abortion and gay rights - to name a few. Has he changed his mind? Well here is the rub - he says that he has. So what to do?

Well when considering that Obama has doubled-down in his support for the slaying of the unborn, the choice by some of us is clear. As for myself, I can with a clear conscience, cast a vote for Mitt with the understanding that if he acts the charlatan and reneges on his "conversion" he will answer not only to his constituency, but to God Almighty.

If you feel that God would have us disregard an individuals turn towards a more "righteous" public policy, that is your decision, and I will not denigrate your decision to not eat the "meat offered to idols".

However, unless you can produce an Obama supporter who partners with you NOT TO VOTE, you cannot with any logic, contend that your LACK of a vote makes no difference to the overall percentages. If you feel you are taking a principled stand, I can and will respect that. But you look foolish when insisting that withholding your vote has no effect on the overall tally.

Regarding the "lick the hand" language: I could make the argument that Satan wants Obama to remain president, and that anyone who doesn't vote against him is "licking Satan's hand". But since I don't know your heart and you don't know mine, how bout we pray for wisdom, vote our conscience, and let God sort it out?
