*Fred Price Jr., lead pastor of Crenshaw Christian Center in Los Angeles, one of the nation’s largest megachurches, reportedly told Christians recently to “vote their conscience” in the Nov. 3 election.
Price added that Christians’ conscientious decision can include “abstention from voting at all because voting for the lesser of two evils is still evil,” according to “The Christian Post,”
“Some of you have decided I’m going to vote for the lesser of two evils,” Price said. “If that helps you sleep at night, I get it. Do you know that you’re still voting for evil?”
Of course, Price’s reference to evil and the presidential race is aimed at the two men who ran to lead the country for the next four years: incumbent President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden. Price also said that if people vote their conscience, they could even write in a name of someone if voters weren’t feeling the Democratic or Republican nominee.
Price said that he is still planning to vote but is not encouraging others to follow suit.
“I honestly can’t tell you whether you should vote,” Price said. “I know some would say, ‘No pastor, don’t said that!”

Price cites a jarring turn of events in the political arena that altered his perception about voting.
“Not too long ago, there was a particular proposition that was set before the people, the body of Christ in particular,” Price said, according to ‘The Christian Post.’ “This is something that we needed to vote on because if we were silent it could threaten a very strong and particular belief that we as Christians hold fast to. We voted and the proposition went in our favor. And then that same proposition that we voted on and went in our favor went before a judge and the judge reversed it, right there on the spot because the judge felt like it.”
Price said the reversal by the judge, even though the people overwhelmingly voiced their decision otherwise, did not sit well with him. His faith in the system was completely depleted.
