    There's been a lot of debate about Christians being involved in politics and the role their faith should play in voting and policymaking, but no one is asking the really important question: should Christians even vote at all?

    The Babylon Bee has put together the following list of reasons why a Christian should never vote:

  1. Separation of church and state: Duh! It's in the Constitution! If Christians are the Church, they have to be separated from the state.
  2. There is no record in the Bible of Jesus voting: Aren't you supposed to be like Jesus?
  3. Our home is in Heaven, not here: You should never make any effort to make a difference here on Earth.
  4. David French might call you a Christian Nationalist: There is no more devastating slur.
  5. Voting for a flawed human being will completely destroy your witness: If a candidate posts mean things on social media, a Christian can't vote for him. That's in the Bible.
  6. The 15 minutes you spent voting could have been spent handing out Chick tracts: Priorities, brothers and sisters.
  7. There is no voting in a theocracy: Your only leader is God.
  8. You should just be washing the feet of all the people in line to vote: Stop wasting your time voting and let everyone else know that "He Gets Us."
  9. The winners are predestined anyway: God has already divinely chosen which totally depraved wretches will be in power.

    See? Cold, hard proof of why Christians should never vote. If you claim to be a follower of Jesus and have voted... pray, ask for forgiveness, and start minding your own business like you're supposed to.

Big Bob: That is one man's opinion at one time, and that does not make it part of our Founding Documents.

Jefferson immortalized the phrase in a letter to the Danbury Baptist Association. Concerned about their status as a religious minority, the Baptist community penned a letter to the president expressing fear about religious persecution. Jefferson responded, emphasizing that the First Amendment's free exercise and establishment clauses together built "a wall of separation between church and state."
Have a nice day!

Still, you made a good enough point that Big Bob took issue with it, so by that alone, your comment has much merit.

Yes Stan satire, but some on here would read that as being the truth, you know that and I know that, and we both know who.

Bob who is advocate for civil war? No where in these comment was that mentioned except by YOU.

Countrygirl is right that "Separation of Church and State" is not in the Constitution. The First Amendment only allows for a wide ability to worship as people see fit. No where is it stated in any Founding Documents - documents passed by a ruling body - that this is a 'secular nation,' self-governed by a "secular government."

Anyone advocating for a theocracy is advocating for civil war and violence. No person will stand for another forcing their region on them. That's the beauty of a secular government. We all get to live and conduct our personal business privately. In the town square, we are equals and have equal rights. White males are no better or worse , than anyone else.

Countrygirl: Satire alert! Do not take this too seriously.

Separation of church and state is in the 1936 Constitution of the USSR
ARTICLE 124. In order to ensure to citizens freedom of conscience, the church in the U.S.S.R. is separated from the state, and the school from the church. Freedom of religious worship and freedom of antireligious propaganda is recognized for all citizens.
And in the 1977 USSR constitution
Article 52. Citizens of the USSR are guaranteed freedom of conscience, that is, the right to profess or not to profess any religion, and to conduct religious worship or atheistic propaganda. Incitement of hostility or hatred on religious grounds is prohibited.
In the USSR, the church is separated from the state, and the school from the church.
Not in the USA Constitution.
