I appears, then, that you are faced with a Hobson’s choice, assuming that Clinton and Romney are the nominees:
A.) Support the Mormon at the risk that more people will go to Hell due to the heresies that his faith teaches them.
B.) Support the secular-humanist at the risk that her policies will result in a further deterioration of family and social values, thereby condemning more people to Hell due to increase levels of sin and reduced levels of acceptance of Christ’s Gospel.
What to do? I do not accept the third-party vote as a viable alternative; it’s the same as voting for the winner, you just give yourself a psychological escape clause.
Would it not be more appropriate to vote for the candidate more likely to promote the core goodness of America, and therefore your own religious values?
Like I said above, if it's Clinton and Giuliani, I consider them functionally identical, they're both social liberals. Frankly, I think they'd have nearly equal effects on this country's economic and military policies.

In my case, neither Clinton or Giuliani shares my religious/philosophical beliefs (atheist) and frankly, I believe that Hillary Clinton as President for two years brings us back a Republican Congress, much like what happened in 1994. A Republican loss of large proportions next year means the party does the soul searching it needs to do to get back to its roots. It's the only chance we'd field a better candidate that Rudy in 2012.

I feel as if I’m repeating myself ad nauseum, but I don’t want you to think I’m ignoring the question.
I feel that secular humanism and Mormonism are equally dangerous. They both teach a false religion. Therefore, I could not cast my vote for a candidate who espoused either view.
You dismiss my choice to vote for a third party as a vote for Hillary. It it not. I do not control the outcome of elections. I must stand before a Holy God and some day give account for the choices I make. I will not stand before Him and be ashamed of voting out of fear of the Republicans losing an election.
In the entire scheme of things, salvation is so much more important than any election. Elections are temporal matters, but eternity is not.
Reconciliation with God takes precedence over elections. That’s all I’m trying to say.
