Fellow Christians....is im wrong for not voting for Obama?
Me personally i never voted. I believe that they'll put whoever in office. I think that Obama was selected before he was elected.
Im nowhere near political and agreeing with ppl about putting a man that is for abortion, gay marriage and other things that's not right with God in office is something i don't agree to.
Is im wrong for this?
I found many other Christians as well honoring this man like a idol but I don't.

Not at all! His views are not Christian (in my opinion), and if you agree, then you were totally in the right! He supports things that are very clearly against our religion and supporting him would be supporting his stance on sinful things like gay marriage and abortion

You've been here for 4 years and you have 851 points. -15 points this week. Your not a fellow christian. Why lie about who you are ? And surround yourself with clues that show what you are. You've never voted ? a christian tries to be a good citizen, voting is our duty. You think the system is corrupt. Not christian again. Blah Blah Blah. You never bring up the other guy, a known christian that is a life long member in his church. A man against all the things in your little list. Why ?
Then comes "like an Idol". Is that a false Idol ? Or is that like a popular idol, like Elvis ?
Is your plan to make some unhappy with your pretend opinion ?

People voted for a President that would represent all the people and the country and not a religion!
Look what happened before!
George W Bush started FIVE wars in less than eight years stating each time that it was his "God Given Duty” and in 2001 even called it a Crusade!
Not his duty to the electors!
Not his duty to America!
Just his duty to keep slaughtering heathens for his god!
Causing trillions of dollars of national debt that will take decades to repay and 46 MILLION Americans living below the poverty line that Mitt Romney does not care about! He assured Israel that he would take America to war with Iran that would cost ten times the debt and American lives and all for a foreign country and not for American reasons!

There are reasons people have a vote. The government is by the people and for the people. Freedom of choice. No one even has to say who they vote for if they do not want to. Therefore what matters if you think you vote for the right person or not. If you are not happy with your choice make a different choice in the future. Freedom to choose otherwise people are controlled puppets.
However there are always consequences for wrong choices and rewards for good choices.
Personally I would never vote for Obama.

Who is THEY? You don't sound like a Christian. Did Jesus say we are all one? Love thy neighbor as thyself cause you & your neighbor are one.
You obviously do not listen to President Obama. He is not FOR abortion. He leaves that up to God. He has said that is not for him to decide. He was not for gay marriage & his daughters came home & asked why they were allowed to have parents married but their friends parents were not allowed to be married. He realized he was judging others so he then stopped that judgment.
Isn't it up to God & not your to judge others. Aren't you suppose to treat others with the same respect as you want to be treated. Do unto others as you have them do unto you?
So Yes if you can really read what I have written here I do thinking you are missing the mark (sinning) by judging these issues. Many people died before abortion was legal. The suicides or went to back allies & had botched abortions or died from doing an abortion at home.
People don't want abortions. If you get 1 thing from the message I have written I hope you get this. It is a lie to say people are FOR abortion. They are for having a doctor do this for those who are going to do it anyway. They are for health care not abortions. Do you understand this? If you do please start explaining this to others cause the lies you have been told & accepted need to be cleared up.
Liberals are loving decent people no matter whether they Label themselves Christians are not. These lies are what is wrong & if you keep spreading them then Yes, you are wrong.

The bible is very clear about voting for people who have Godly values.
The bible also tells us about people who sin and those who support them will not enter the kingdom of heaven.
So if a person votes for homosexual marriage or abortion issues....they are also committing a sin

You don't agree with his policies - so you shouldn't vote for him.
You should however have looked for a 3rd party candidate you like and voted for them
unless you honestly liked Mittens

Well, he ran against a devoutly religious Mormon... so was that right? Who was wrong here? Have you ever studied what Mormons believe. It isn't "normal" you know... because ... well, holy ****, just look at it.
Obama is doing the best he can with what he has. Jesus Christ himself couldn't have done any better.

Your obligation is to vote your own conscience. As a Christian, that conscience will be informed by your faith. Don't let anyone tell you not to vote for what you know is right.

I didn't know greed was a pro-Christian idea. That's why I didn't vote for a Republican.
