I remember him wrestling through it all back in the old message boards days! :)<BR/><BR/>It's a very complex issue for believers, I think, and not as simple as everyone makes it sound. There are countries, like Australia, where if you don't vote, you actually get fined!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02515314638093018928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303971.post-32651768457156618932008-02-18T10:36:00.000-08:002008-02-18T10:36:00.000-08:00I will admit that I was not sure if you meant voti...I will admit that I was not sure if you meant voting for your poll questions or the general election. I have in the past voted in the general elections. I am not sure if I am going to vote in this general election. Since I am resident of this country, but a citizen of God's kingdom, I wonder if it is proper for me to vote in any election. If I do end up voting, I am struggling with the ideal of voting by my values. Should I force my values on someone who is not a follower Christ? I might be doing that if I end up voting in this election.<BR/><BR/>(Amy, I read what you wrote on kats blog. Praying for you.)<BR/><BR/>thomasThomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16161782167121112058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303971.post-33442120103530416882008-02-18T10:00:00.000-08:002008-02-18T10:00:00.000-08:00I know what you mean.

No one lines up with all of my values either and trying to decide which ones are the most important is quite stressful.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02515314638093018928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303971.post-82615041485144103902008-02-16T06:24:00.000-08:002008-02-16T06:24:00.000-08:00I think my issue is that I don't agree with anyone...I think my issue is that I don't agree with anyone enough to actually throw my support behind them. I always end up voting for the lesser of the evils, but that's not the way I wish I was voting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
