    None of which actually addresses the issue. Christians are free to do as they please, just like everyone else. That is not relevant.

    Is it actually the proper thing to do, with regards to the teachings of Jesus Christ, as put forth in New Testament of the Bible, to vote for Trump?

    Are you suggesting that Republicans should have defected to the Democratic Party and elected Hilliary as president?

    Yes, all true, but Hil would have been worse. That says something about Hil if the US elected a spiteful, racist, bigoted adulterer who mocks people with disabilities. Likely the least principled and least moral president in history...doesn't it? Must be Hil was even a bigger POS than Trump.

    Were Hillary and Trump the only two people who people could vote for in the presidential election?

    Sure. Why not? Based on the teachings of Christ, we separate our religious allegiance from our political allegiance. Render unto Ceasar what is Ceasar's and unto God, what is God's! Jesus was quite clear that "his kingdom was not of this world". This has had a great impact on Western Society, we are so used to it we don't even think about it until we are confronted by Islam which has no parallel teaching. Too bad!

    I jut laugh when folks claimed I "just had to" vote for the drunken kleptocrat warmonger because I am a Christian. In fact, I'm about to laugh yet again: BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!

    Thank you. I needed that!

    Trump was very strongly supported by the conservative Christian community, mainly because he was so honest about it. When he was asked if he had a "personal relationship with God" he made it clear that he didn't even understand what was meant by that. Coming from the more Liberal Christian background, that was an honest answer. And certainly he knew that was not the answer that was being sought, but it was the truth, and that generally is the best course.

    Hillary is probably the most untruthful person we have ever come into contact with. I wouldn't allow her to scrap dog crap off my driveway even if she was a volunteer, so naturally hiring her to be our President was completely out of the question. Trump's a good choice. If we don't like him, he will get his wings clipped in two years and shown the door in 4. If we do like him, he will get another 4, if he wants it. I'm not certain Hillary will even make it 4 and her Veep pick was bizarre. But not as bizarre as her. What a liar. I knew she was lying every time she spoke of the emails. I knew she was lying as soon as Benghazi broke and I heard grenade launchers were used. She is pitiful, she deserves to be miserable.

    That she was done in by Wiener, well, poetic justice captures it nicely!

    Jesus said to obey the governing authorities. And frankly there were no really good choices this cycle. If you think there were you weren't paying attention or probably didn't vote because you couldn't find your local precinct station.

    So you can't answer the question. Got it.
