How about resisting both? And no, one is not complicit in choosing to reject both evils for the immoral policies which the ultimate electee exercises.
Part of the problem is that many people think once they have voted (or abstained), they’ve done their part...and then abdicate their personal responsibility to engage their culture for the next four years.
The other part of the problem is that Christian people (genuine ones, not to mention the Sunday Christians and posers) actually seem to forget what the Bible teaches and what things/people their Lord could support
(choose, as opposed to allow) in any way, shape, or form. They are complicit in the decline of our culture by choosing “representatives” who actively undermine biblical morality in our culture.
It went something like this: What happens if you are nearly 100% successful in converting everyone in America? At the next election, the “two” remaining non-converts will elect one or the other as the next president and he may turn out to be the next Hitler.
I don't always like the options of who I have to choose between when voting so I do find myself sometimes voting for the lesser of two evils - a practice your statement rejects.
With all due respect to you both as a Christian and American, I think that view is shortsighted.
Voting for the lesser of two evils is voting for the person who will “actively undermine biblical morality in our culture”, THE LEAST. That way we have a smaller hole to climb out of at the next election.
Take the last election for example. (Not implying anything about McCain with regards to this thread). A lot people sat out because they didn't like McCain.
Obama won. The biggest lasting impact is likely to be the two Supreme Court Justices he named to the court. I don't have a clue who McCain would have nominated, but I can't imagine them being worse with regards to our “biblical morality.”
So we had two liberals retire to be replaced by bigger liberals. A lost opportunity at the least to have two moderates or maybe even conservatives replace them if McCain had won.
Sitting out does have consequences! I think we really do need to focus on who will do the least damage to our biblical morals as opposed to letting the worse guy win because neither guy measured up the way we would have liked.
