James, just a parting comment. I think you seem to be defending the Democratic Party in your responses, and it is true that both major parties are imperfect. However, even if you personally think that the abortion issue or homosexual marriage are not significant enough to vote Republican, this position is clearly flawed. While we are not suggesting persecution of those who support these issues, we cannot simply ignore them either. There is the matter of right and wrong. The Democratic Party absolutely believes in unrestricted, including late term abortion. The Republicans do not. The Democratic Party advocated for same gender marriage, and takes a liberal position on allowing children to be given access to trans surgery, even over the objections of parent’s rights. Multiple issues also reveal a Leftist agenda, open borders, sanctuary cities, no bail laws, a costly and taxed climate agenda which can also cause economic hardships in this country. We do not engage in political discussions at my church, yet more than a few I know hold conservative values. I criticize your comments because you seem to offer equal parity with respect to the political parties seeking our votes. Each party is imperfect, but one, the Democrats, advocates for the the evil of abortion and expanded rights for gender surgery for children. If you can tell me with a straight face that these issues alone are not sufficient to decline to support this party of extremism, than there is very little left to say. Allowing evil to continue in a given society amounts to merely good people remain silent, or quietly lend their support by voting against their conscience, their convictions, and their faith.
