A Christian Voter’s Guide

Praise be to Nero’s Neptune
The Titanic sails at dawn
And everybody’s shouting
“Which Side Are You On?”

I am fine with a Christian voting for Mitt Romney if they feel that
action best reflects their commitment to follow Jesus Christ. I know
sincere Christians who will do this.

I am fine with a Christian voting for Barack Obama if they feel that
action best reflects their commitment to follow Jesus Christ. I know
sincere Christians who will do this.

I am fine with a Christian voting for someone else (Green Party,
write-in, etc.) if they feel that action best reflects their commitment
to follow Jesus Christ. I know sincere Christians who will do this.

I am fine with a Christian choosing not to vote because they don’t
like any of the options and view it as inconsistent with truly believing
that Jesus is Lord. I know sincere Christians who will do this.

I am not fine with a Christian who insists that their particular way of voting is the only
faithful Christian response. Such Christians are narrow-minded
partisans who divide the body of Christ over politics. This is a
grievous sin.

“This is my commandment: That you love one another.” -Jesus
