I am not here to claim that a Christian has any duty to vote for Republicans. The Republican Party is not the official Christian Party and Christians have no moral or spiritual obligation to it. I am also not going to argue that Donald Trump is a man of deep faith or high moral character, because I don’t believe he is either of those things. Whatever you decide to do on Election Day, what I can say is that if you’re a Christian (or an adherent to any other major religion, for that matter), you simply cannot vote for Joe Biden. You can, obviously, in the sense that you have the right to, and the physical ability to, but you cannot do it justifiably, or in a way that is consistent with your professed worldview. The reason is very simple.
Let’s leave aside any question of personal character. I think that Biden’s reputation as an unassailably decent and honest man is more a function of political branding than actual reality, but never mind that. All that really matters is what sort of things Biden will do. The policies he will support. The agenda he will follow. The bills he will happily sign. I don’t see how it is possible to be a decent man while enacting evil policies, but even if it is, what good is such decency? If a man smiles while he punches you in the nose, your nose will be no less broken. And in the case of Biden, the consequences are far worse than broken noses.
