 Voting the Lesser of Two Evils? Should Christians vote for a Mormon presidential candidate? That’s the question many evangelicals are grappling with as the November election draws near.While pondering the ramifications of a Mormon in the White House, some prominent Southern Baptist theologians have emphasized that whatever happens on Election Day will not affect the work of the Kingdom of God. “The Kingdom is not riding on whatever happens on election day and the church’s mission isn’t going to change regardless of what happens … on Election Day,” said Dr. R.

Let the two horse race continue…

At the last election here in the UK, I didn’t vote. I can’t think of where it says in scripture concerning voting. But, morally speaking, political groups that support homosexuality and abortion will not get my vote.
And since, those groups support those things, what is there to vote for?
There is a lot more I could say on this subject, but, maybe later.
God bless.
