I heard this analogy recently. Constantly being told you have to choose between the lesser of two evils is like telling your kids if you are going to steal a candy bar, be sure to steal the smaller one. Then you can tell the person you stole the candy bar from that you chose the lesser of two evils, and they'll praise you for it.
Good quip.
I would further elucidate the dilemma of 2016
voting choices as follows: We all understand the dilemma of choosing between the lesser of two EVILS. But there is a difference between an EVIL (i.e., a privation of the good) and a DEVIL (a
bona fide spiritual monster). I have always said that Christians, of all people, should understand that we must
refuse to choose between the lesser of two
DEVILS. (Spiritually speaking, it is obviously safer to refuse to participate--leaving the outcome of our refusal in the Lord's hands [where it already rests anyway].)
When we understand this faith-based ethic, we discover steel in our spiritual backbones.
