NT; your prayer WORKED!

For I am now wiser and did the hard work for those who would have let you remain smugly superior:

A false dilemma (also called false dichotomy, the either-or fallacy, fallacy of false choice, black-and/or-white thinking, or the fallacy of exhaustive hypotheses) is a type of logical fallacy that involves a situation in which only two alternatives are considered, when in fact there is at least one additional option. The options may be a position that is between the two extremes (such as when there are shades of grey) or may be a completely different alternative.

Now I know what the choice between voting for Romney or not; is.

Thank you for making the effort to learn.

However, the choice between Romney and Obama is NOT a false choice. It’s a very REAL choice, with very real differences in outcome.

No, the false dichotomy is in YOUR implication that there are only two ways:

1) vote for Romney and see a slight diversion in the “true” path eventually compound into a complete reversal into marxism, or

2) don’t vote for Romney, thereby electing Obama, and immediately receive anti-Christian marxism.

There is a THIRD possibility that you, in your stubbornness, refuse to acknowledge: vote for the better of the imperfect candidates and trust that we’ll thereby buy time and/or influence the more malleable Romney to toe the straight and true line.

That third possibility is what I trust that with GOD’s help we will achieve.

I am not willing to give myself up to supporting the candidate of Satan — i.e. Obama.

And make no mistake — failing to support Romney one month from the election IS IN FACT supporting the candidate of Satan — Barack Obama.

I trust in the LORD that you are not predisposed to giving your talents and time to supporting Satan.

I will continue to pray for your wisdom and discernment.
