In many ways, that's the safe road, but I think it's important that you tell people this story. Tell them about your disillusionment, and why. That you feel like politicians are using your faith as a tool to manipulate you. Give examples. Wake up your fellow Christians to your realization. Not in an effort to persuade them to vote non-Republican, but in an effort to get them to actually think about their voting choice, instead of voting purely out of religious ideals.

And don't forget, instead of not voting, try voting for a third party. It isn't (currently) going to change the outcome of D vs. R, but increased third-party votes leads to increased third-party funding, which will hopefully at some point lead to third-party relevancy and a break from D vs. R.


Some of us see that day as long past.

If it weren't for the general apathy of the average US citizen holding it back, I'd say the country will be embroiled in a second civil war within my lifetime.
