Note: Before reading the following arguments, please understand that they are not what I believe. On Wednesdays, I deliberately argue for wrong ideas, challenging my listeners to call and defend the obvious right answer, which is usually far harder than one would expect. This is a summary of what Wacky Andrew will be arguing, not a representation of what real Andrew believes.~Seriously, how would the world be any different if you didn’t cast your vote? You know it makes no difference to the outcome.
~Do you play the lottery? Why not? Aren’t all the reasons to not play the lottery pretty much the same reasons to not vote?
~Most elections are a choice between two bad alternatives. Why would you participate in a choice where either option is wrong?
~If Jesus didn’t come to establish a political kingdom, why should we be worried about doing so either?
~Taking sides in elections only causes needless divisions in the Body of Christ. How many people can’t talk civilly about their votes or intentions to vote?
~We are ambassadors to a foreign land, and ambassadors do not vote in elections, even though they are subject to the rules of the land.
~Retaining our purity to proclaim truth TO this world’s systems depends on us not becoming active participants IN this world’s systems.
~Voting costs a lot and gains you nothing.
~The most enlightened among us don’t vote, why should you?
~Economists don’t vote. Why not?
