I would just like to say that Christians are among the most detestable people during Presidential elections. I remember being at Southeastern University during the Kerry/Bush election. It was not uncommon to see people walking around campus with ‘Kerry is a Liar’ shirts. I am not saying that they are not correct it doing so. I am saying that they would be equally justified wearing a shirt that says ‘(Your Name) is a liar’. We are all are liars in some way.. What is even funnier/embarrassing is that 99% of people that wore that shirt would not be able to explain the political views of either side let alone tell you why “Kerry is a liar.” Jump forward four years and we face the same thing. There is not a day that goes by without someone slandering Obama’s name. I am sure that Jesus is sitting up in heaven smiling and giving us the big thumbs up wearing his ‘Obama is the Antichrist t-shirt.” The issue that many Christians have is a pretty big one, abortion. It is a travesty that is bringing harsh judgement on America. I don’t discount anyone that makes a political decision based this issue. I do have a couple of suggestions though…
1. Be informed before you jump on the bandwagon. There is nothing I am more embarrassed about that ignorant Christians making non-informed judgements.
2. Pray for all of the candidates. What if the one that you don’t like wins? Romans 13 would be very helpful
3. If you are willing to call Obama ‘evil’, an ‘antichrist’, ‘liar, or any other slanderous world because of his stance of abortion, be willing to call every and anyone that has had one or participates in one.
4. Above all, know why you do what you do.
