Reasons you shouldn't vote

I totally respect your opinion and I once held the same opinion. But, let me tell you why I'm not going to vote this year (the first time in 14 years). We have a majority Republican Congress and a Republican President. I voted them in because they promised they would fight abortion, gay marriage and other Christian values. But, eight years later gay marriage is still legal and women can still kill their unborn babies. They are liars. All of them are liars whether they are Republican, Democrat or Independent. They all lie about what will get them elected. The Republicans lie about Christian values to get votes, just like the Democrats lie to minorities and the "common" man to get voted in. We could change the laws of the US, but again we must ask "what would that accomplish?" We need to change the hearts of those unrepentant sinners. But, we can't do that. Only Jesus can. I'm going to spread the Gospel to all who will listen and I will worship the Lord. I will give to missionaries and I'll volunteer for mission work. But, I can't see myself ever voting again for a "Luke Warm" politician, who says one thing and does another. I've come to the conclusion that because of the nature of politics, a Bible Believing Christian can not be a Politician. A politician has to bend, but God's Word NEVER bends.

Fine. But if you don't vote, please don't complain. That would be inconsistent too.

Deal?
