but I am really troubled by the prospect of asking God to do something that my conscience will not allow me to participate in.

You are troubled by it? Then you can't know God/HIS WORD. Before you attempt to mock Christians - learn first what God says! Some are hell bent at being arrogant while being clueless. I believe it is that mittbotulism that is going around.

Just as an aside, under our system, in the general election we do not vote for an individual to be president, we vote for a slate of electors who then vote for a person to be president. Possibly that is a sufficient degree of separation for those who need it.

So you are another arrogant fool! Telling JIM what the general election is all about. Amazing! Next time STOP and think!

I appreciate your comments and am sorry I was not able to reply earlier. Just a couple of points if you don’t mind:

First - When I indicated perplexity at what I considered a logical inconsistency, I did not mock Christianity nor any individual. I fully understand Mr. Robinson’s stand and, while I might disagree, I respect his right to follow and defend that path. Also, I believe through the years he has demonstrated sufficient strength of character to both handle dissent and deflect pandering. I would never attack him or anyone else on a personal basis nor would I insult him with false flattery.

Second - Especially in political discussions a wide variety of debating styles are used, including my least favorite, the Ad Hominem. I may indeed be an arrogant fool as you assert but that just addresses my character, not my contention.

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to clarify my position. This is going to be a long and heated campaign but that is the history of our country.
