Unless you just fancy a new hat, you should probably try again either here or over here.

Like this choice should be a conundrum...

Vote Life, vote Liberty. Don’t vote for the jackass. Vote Romney.

How Should Christians vote?

Here’s a video to answer that question...

Two candidates - one Mormon, one Muslim. I've served with Mormons and known them as people of integrity. I've seen nothing of Islam but taqiyah, hudna and jihad.

There is no integrity under the Crescent. I go with the Mormon.



Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

In the same way as interpreting the bible correctly requires touching on layers of context from more immediate to important but more distant, choosing between candidates involves analyzing them on the basis of more important to lesser important items of faith.

The core belief of Christianity is found in the entirety of the Apostle’s Creed, but begins with “I believe in God, the Father Almighty, the Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord:Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost,...”

This testimony to the true, trinitarian God might be called the core of the core.

Also important, but less central to a Christian understanding of creation might be “honorable dealings with one’s fellow humans.” On the periphery might be “wholesome living.” (These are just examples)

One has an internal checklist when viewing a candidate, and the fewer checks, the more unacceptable the candidate. I believe Billy Graham’s recent advertisement called upon Christians to vote their principles. He’s absolutely right. Check them, weight them, add up the result, and one can get some idea if it would be a justifiable thing to pull the lever for a particular candidate.

From the perspective of voting by religion, I'll take the Mormon over the Marxist any day.

The Mormon part doesn't bother me in the least. A vote for Romney isn't a vote for Mormonism. It's not like Romney, if elected president, is going to make Mormonism the state religion.

If you're going to vote with religion as your top issue, then vote for the candidate more likely to protect religious freedoms and curtail government assaults on the practice of religion and its values. I think it's pretty obvious which man is the better choice.

Now, the candidate with the best stance on religion isn't Romney or Obama, but a third party (obviously). But determining the best choice of candidate has a practical aspect to it. Voting for a third party candidate is a nice way to state your stance to the world (albeit anonymously) and show your rejection of the major parties. However, if voting for a third party increases the chances of putting a Godless Marxist F*** like Obama back in office, I'm not going to do that. I'd rather put Romney in office and put actual conservatives in the House and Senate to check his centrist tendencies then increase the odds of putting someone back in office who is actively attacking religion.

We live in a practical world. Don't lose sight of that– Obama would love to use Faith as a weapon against the Faithful to get himself reelected by discouraging people from voting for Romney (the only viable alternative to Obama) based on his religion.

Hmmmm 72 virgins now or later? I pick now.

Render unto Caesar...

[Gator113]

LOL.... I see no “conundrum”!

One can vote for a traitor that hates this country or a man that loves it.

One can vote for the continued destruction of our country or for a man that will try to save it.

I have already voted for Romney and my vote had NOTHING to do with his chosen faith. My vote had much to do with my love of Freedom, love of my country and the future of my grandchildren.

ANYONE that would choose Obama over Romney because of his Mormonism is a complete fool....

[Nifster]

and I am voting for a president NOT a pastor...thanks very much anyway

[Jyotishi]

Muslims are instructed by their Koran to torture and kill non-Muslims. Clearly, non-Muslims must note vote for the Muslim-Marxist.

[HokieMom]

Thank you! I put this on my facebook page where I have lots of Christian friends— some I know voted for BHO last time and regret it.

[Irish Eyes]

This is a joke, right?

[fkabuckeyesrule]

My answer to the question ‘does Jesus want you to vote democrat or republican’ is that Jesus does not want your vote he wants your life. Neither party is the christian party. Both define morality as 50% plus 1. But presently one party is clearly more hostile to believing christianily than they other.

[353FMG]

If Christians want to survive in this country, they should NOT vote for Obama or for any demokrat politician.

A vote for Obama is a vote for Islam.

[Salvation]

BTTT!

[Migraine]

Christians should vote with the Supreme Court in mind.

The SCOTUS for the next 20 years will be determined by this election — presidential AND senatorial. For a Christian, it is unconscionable to leave those SCOTUS to obama by default.

The Supreme Court is the only chance for the leftists to govern outside the Constitution, because none of what they want to do is in the Constitution. To govern outside the Constitution, they need communists like Kagan, Sotomayor and Ginsberg on the Court.

While there is no guarantee what kinds of justices we will get with Romney, we can at least be assured they will not be anything like those skanks.

[Impy]

Yes it’s the Mormon crap again. PASSE, so passe.
