But holding one's breath and refusing to participate in a flawed human election process until a large-scale Christian reawakening happens, as the rigid purists vow to do, will do the opposite of helping it to happen.

I agree wholeheartedly with your entire post until this final paragraph. The mantra that you and others on FR seems to be repeating is that if one does not vote Republican in every instance next Tuesday, he/she will not be going to the polls and will stay home and pout.

What you call "rigid purists" could also be FReepers voting as their conscience dictates.

And about "rigid purists" "holding...breath and refusing to participate in a flawed human election process until...", well, you made that up.

And may your principles keep you warm in the reeducation camp.

I’m not saying don’t cherish your Christian principles. I’m saying be more realistic about what is Caesar’s (the heads of constitutionally secular civil government) and what is God’s (your commission to share the gospel with individuals for their salvation, and your obligation to tithe and support specifically Christian organizations, which the United States cannot impose as a form of government by law).

Rest assured, those who think they are “without sin” (self-righteous liberal pundits) will cast the first stones — and the last, and those in the middle — at the flawed, imperfect non-Democrat candidates. You don’t need to pile on.
