When a major political party advocates things that counter your faith, how should you respond? Why do so many Christians refuse to vote, and does it matter?
SO interesting. YES, Christians need to vote. They need to learn that a candidate which represents most of their values is much better than a candidate which represents none. It is the "half a loaf of bread" strategy which is its better than no bread or even moldy bread. Unless you are the candidate, no other person running for office will be represent 100% of your beliefs and values, so support the candidate who represents most of them. Get out and vote or you are helping to elect the candidate who is opposite of your beliefs.
Great Dietrich Bonhoeffer quote: “If I sit next to a madman as he drives a car into a group of innocent bystanders, I can't, as a Christian, simply wait for the catastrophe, then comfort the wounded and bury the dead. I must try to wrestle the steering wheel out of the hands of the driver.”

If these Christians don't vote, they won't be allowed to be Christians in a few years. I wonder if they understand that?
