There is nothing wrong with not voting. If poitics keeps going the way it is, then by next November I may finally be able to give up this garbage for good. David Lipscomb in his treatise, “On Civil Government”, may be correct that Christians should have nothing to do with this junk. Personally, I find it a hard habit to break, but I watched pro wrestling for about 30 years until the mid-90s and gave it up. So I know I can break habits. :)

There is everything wrong with not voting when lives are on the line. And they are. It's akin to walking past a man, whose life is in danger, calling out to you for help and you doing nothing. In fact it's worse, because thousands of innocent lives with no voice are being snuffed out, daily.

James 4:17 Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.

David Lipscomb is a coward. He's not risking his own life, he's risking the lives of others. I have great respect for Christians who put their lives in harms way for the sake of the gospel. I have no respect for those that risk the lives of others, while claiming to be righteous. They are a stain on this church generation.

Gospel of Jesus Christ > politics.

That's like saying Gospel > Testimony. Very bad theology.

"Hey, I turn my back continually on innocent babies being murdered. But, forget about all that! Let me tell you how Jesus Christ has changed my life and made me a better person."

Sorry, doesn't work like that. Bad testimonies hurt the gospel. I'd rather people not share at all, if that's their testimony.

That's funny, because that's what I say about the typical Trump supporter.

"Hey, I voted for Trump. Yeah, I know he said he can 'walk right up to women and grab em by the p*##y', and that he forces kisses on women when they least expect it. Yeah, he's been married three times, he's got a foul mouth and was pro-choice for most of his life. But we need him as our leader. Now let me tell you about my Lord and Savior."

Actually, you just lied about Trump. Also a very bad testimony. He never said anything about forcing kissing on women. Total lie. Show your evidence.

In the meantime, you really did turn your back on millions of babies, in fact, you campaigned against Trump the entire election cycle, saying practically nothing about Hillary. Yes, we was pro-choice at one time. You, OTOH, claim to be pro-life, but actually become pro-choice out out of your hatred from Trump.

Think about it. You turned our back and the most innocent of our society because you hated Trump more than you loved them. And now that Trump has helped the cause of the unborn more than any other President, who do you think God is more pleased with, you or him?

“I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know I'm automatically attracted to beautiful—I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait.“ - Donald Trump

Ok. Trump liked the ladies. So did Kennedy and most of The Presidents. I think the only truly moral President we have had in recent history was Carter. He was liberal, but moral.

I didn't see the word "force" in there.

I won't say who, but I worked security for some very prominent well say showgirls. They got felt up and groped on all the time. The clients knew it was included in the price of admission. The girls were quite "frisky" too. Many times they would come feel me up when no clients were in the room.

This a prime example of why I hate politics.

Excuses for my political tribe, condemnation for anyone not a member of my political tribe.

I am sick of it.

Politics does make some people bad, but that's not Trump's fault. You feel the need to lie about what he said, and use it as an excuse to get out of politics. Why, I have no idea, but I suspicion it has much less to do with Trump and more to do with your proclivity toward liberalism.

And you still haven't explained how you can compare Trump's sins to mass murder?

Yes, because everyone knows that being a rude, boorish, sexist is exactly the same as murdering 600,000 babies per year. :rolleyes:

And if I were a murder target, I'd love someone a bit boorish on my side, who may actually accomplish something.

Why not just accept his words and admit Trump said he forced himself on women but you like his politics and support him anyway? Why have to contort yourself in argumentation to try to make Trump better than what he is?

And THERE IS THE LIE--YOU SAID I AM PRO-CHOICE.

Retract the lie immediately.

It must be nice to read my thoughts and know my emotions. Give it a rest.

And now that Trump has helped the cause of the unborn more than any other President, who do you think God is more pleased with, you or him?

Oh please tell me, you're the mind reader.
