Who will you vote this time around? Better yet, how would you vote? Most people vote for their own party regardless of what they believe, and that's the downfall of the bipartisan system. What about voting as a Christian? I don't believe that God is neither democrat or republican. Most Christians like to say that if you are a Christian, then you must vote for a republican. Really? Let's look at one of this year republican candidates for example, Rudy Giuliani. How much of a Christian am I if I vote for someone who's pro-abortion and pro-gay marriage? The thing is now a day, it's unclear what makes a democrat democrat, or a republican republican. As Christians, we should vote for Christian values not a particular party. A lot of Christians think that it's a non-Christian thing to not to vote. They think God gave us the right to vote, and we should exercise it even when the choices are against Christian values. They like to use the "lesser evil" approach. If I have only two candidates to choose, and both of them are anti-Christ, choosing either of them would be wrong. As Christians, we should not partake or endorse any sins, not even political sins. This is not intended to discourage people from voting. I will only cast my vote to someone who I believe represents the Christian principles and not just vote for the sake of voting.
