Consider whether God would want you to place your stamp of approval on any evil. "The lesser evil" is a concept straight out of the occult.

What the cult does to a child who is born in is to present them with 2 evil choices, and force them to choose.... do I put the knife into the heart of this baby, or (if I don't) they will torture the baby in front of me and then kill it. Which one would a terrified child do?? What if you were a 10 yr old girl and this was your own baby? :( Which evil choice do you choose??

The cult is great at double binds! Choosing "the lesser evil" is one of the BIGGEST cult tricks ...to get people to agree with and choose evil.

So, if I’m sitting in a voting booth and both options are trash....

Or a million other times where all available options are just trash.

@TLHKAJ I really don't understand the argument whereby ppl are supposedly obliged to choose between "the lesser of two evils". If the believer simply keeps separate, "looking unto Jesus" (Hebrews 12.2), and then it's best just to leave others to be responsible for their own (misguided) actions.

If you don't understand my point (which is very clear, tbh) then it's perfectly okay to move on. :) Those who have ears to hear will hear.

Between a rock and hard place? Jesus was willing to walk alone rather than to bend or compromise at all. Are we to like the Republicans or the Democrats or like Jesus?

"From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?" John 6:66-67

If the 12, his closest followers had gone away, would he not have moved on forward alone?

"Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is." I John 3:2

That's a pretty severe comparison.....one that doesn't make a whole lot of sense in my opinion. The difference between voting for a man who loves abortion, homosexuality, hates guns, wants to raise taxes on everyone, etc. or voting for a man who is a little bit more for what Christians stand for, doesn't compare well in my mind to an occult practice like the one you described.

Take it or leave it ...it's still 2 evil choices. (Not that votes decide a presidency anyway, but the nation is so divided over this.)

why feel pressured? ... isn't part of their trick to apply pressure, to take away your power to not make poor choices?.....to get agitated even violent when it doesn't go ones way......to justify further martial law?

Jesus could have called ten thousand angels.....he chose to die instead.

I have self defence capabilities....will I ever choose to use them because I'm goaded to....I sincerely hope not.
