Yes, being a Christian doesn't exempt you from participating in your civil responsibilties. Just like bieng a Christian doesn't exempt you from having to pay taxes, it doesn't exempt you from voting in the election. As a matter of fact you have a responsibility as a Christian to pray regarding your vote. When I voted in the last Presidential election I voted a way I never voted in my life, simply because I prayed and sought God's guidance and I voted my conscious. Voting is an important responsibility that we have in this country and the christians have to play their part.

Yes I do. I believe that this great nation was consecrated and set apart so that people could be free and the Lord's work could progress. I believe that it is only through divine intervention that this country was able to be formed. But God only helps those who help themselves. You have to be proactive and doing your part, then God will step in ad do the rest when he sees fit to do so. It is the same with this country- though it was established with the help of Divine intervention- we still have our agency and if we choose to elect evil people to run the country, then that is our choice and we will have to deal with the consequenses. This is why all Christians and all people need to vote for the best person. We need to ensure that this country will not be taken over by a dictator. I believe that every election is vital, but this next one is extremely vital- We have a dictator running for president and we will be sorry if she gets elected. This is our time to use our voice and ensure that our country will remain the great nation that it is and that our freedoms won't be taken away. This election can be a huge turning point for this country- lets make it a turn for the better and not the worst. The lord set this country aside for his work, lets keep it free and allow that work to continue.
***Edit**
Please remember that the founding fathers were devout Christians- they were men of faith. This country was founded on Christian principles. That does not mean that everyone who lives here has to be Christian or even believe in God. But let's not take away the very thing that made this nation what it is. Also the Phrase "separation of Church and state" appears no where in the constitution.

I am a Christian and I vote because I believe I have a civil obligation to participate in the process which will keep this country free.
This is supposed to be a government for the people by the people. I am one of those people, and my participation is just a important as the next person.
I have often considered to what degree I should consider "single issue" voting. I have not yet been convinced it is the best way to make a decision about who should be a public servant.

I vote all the time but, I am learning to separate church from state. With all the latest Republican scandals coming to light, we can no longer feel that we are voting for a certain set of morals or principles. It's a crap shoot. I plan to vote for the "lesser of evils" based on the information that I have at the time. I think that party loyalty is a thing of the past.

Yes. I can't believe someone said Christians should not vote. We are to follow the laws of the land and vote.

It relies upon in case you imagine Christianity is about taking on different international locations, then McCain is the guy in case you imagine it really is about being a respectable individual, then vote adversarial to McCain

this answer goes out to everyone that said that christians should not vote.
the absense of no religion is a religion in itself.
that means that everyone has a belief
who would vote if every religion 'member' was not allowed to vote?

i repeat
the absense of religion is a religion in itself
