If you are a Christian who votes, would you ever vote for someone who isn’t a Christian?

“Why do you think so many Christians choose not to vote?”

That is a great question!

Ultimately, I would say it's not just Christians...but just a human thing. Have you ever gone to a dance, and not danced? There are people who always dance, and always people who are just not that way, not so inclined, perhaps waiting for just the right opportunity, like tomorrows that never come.

When I was younger going out at night was like...well...the thing to do, and that is what I did, even if I didn't always dance. Now that I am older, after having a full day and dinner...I guess I could have a second wind and jump at the opportunity to see things as just beginning...but I rarely do. Not just 'cause I'm human, but because I have already gather what I have desired that got me out night after not, and I have less to prove. Been there done that.

But voting these days, ought to get us all of the couch--with a cause, and a determination!

Do it!

Absolutely! Just like I would be fine with hiring someone without a degree.

What qualifies one to do a job or even to lead, comes in different forms. If I wanted a ditch dug, a Ditch "Witch" might be the perfect thing. Would I have picked that name for the tool? No, and I would probably not buy a Dirt Devil vacuum cleaner...unless it did a better job. And I suppose there are "nice" bodyguards...but I wouldn't insist upon it. Polite--sure, but "nice", that wouldn't be top of the list.

It is the times that determine what is best, like picking the right tool for any job.

Many understand the candidates ..especially for the senate as well as governors are different wings of the same bird.

They choose not to vote for the lesser evil.

I voted Republican down the ballot. The leftists and Islamists are a danger if they gain more control in our government. Look at what's happening in the UK and Europe.
