I understand that your bigotry prevented you from voting in an election that required critical, rational thought.

That is your right. No one requires that a person do what they do not want to do. The fact is that you where motivated to act, or not act, by personal animus of a person who held a different religious belief.

You decided it was better to vote in, by default, the greater evil. A person who certainly disdained your form of religion and actively works to destroy it, instead of voting for a person who was at worst neutral on other peoples religious beliefs and would have worked to protect the religious practices of all.

Sell it in whatever you want, it was not religious conviction that caused you to not vote for Romney and instead not vote at all, it was religious bigotry.

Stop hiding behind religious verse that is irrelevant in a secular election against two political opponents. As a religious person you are compelled to participate in the Civil Society. It is only by great good fortune and God’s good will that we have the ability to chose our leaders. To decide not to do so is itself ungrateful and a shirking of ones own moral requirements.

An attitude like yours would find it difficult to vote for anyone that doesn’t have the exact religious beliefs and political views you hold. That is a very difficult proposition in a two party system.

If I am presented with 2 candidates I have nothing in common with, I will refrain from supporting either of them.
