A write-in vote is a wasted vote as there is no chance of winning. The best course of action is to choose the lesser of two evils.

Johnson holds fiscally conservative, socially tolerant views, and a philosophy of limited government and military noninterventionism. As well as a libertarian, he has often identified as a classical liberal. Johnson is in favor of simplifying and reducing taxes. During his governorship, Johnson cut taxes fourteen times and never increased them. Due to his stance on taxes, political pundit David Weigel described him as "the original Tea Party candidate". Johnson supports balancing the federal budget immediately. He supports "slashing government spending", including Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. His plans include cutting Medicare and Medicaid by 43 percent and turning them into block grant programs, with control of spending in the hands of the states to create "fifty laboratories of innovation". He advocates passing a law allowing for state bankruptcy and expressly ruling out a federal bailout of any states. Johnson has expressed opposition to the Federal Reserve System, which he cites as massively devaluing the strength of the U.S. dollar, and would sign legislation to eliminate it. He otherwise supports an audit of the central bank, and urged Members of Congress in July 2012 to vote in favor of Ron Paul's Federal Reserve Transparency Act.
In his campaign for the Libertarian Party nomination, he stated he opposed foreign wars and pledged to cut the military budget by 43 percent in his first budget as president. He would cut the military's overseas bases, uniformed and civilian personnel, research and development, intelligence, and nuclear weapons programs. He is opposed to the United States' involvement in the War in Afghanistan and the Libyan Civil War. He has stated that he does not believe Iran is a military threat, would use his presidential power to prevent Israel from attacking Iran, and would not follow Israel, or any other ally, into a war that it had initiated.
Johnson is a strong supporter of civil liberties and received the highest score of any candidate from the American Civil Liberties Union for supporting drug decriminalization and having a pro-choice stance on abortion, while opposing censorship and regulation of the Internet, the Patriot Act, enhanced airport screenings, and the indefinite detention of prisoners. Johnson endorsed same-sex marriage in 2011; he has since called for a constitutional amendment protecting equal marriage rights, and criticized President Obama's position on the issue as to have "thrown this question back to the states."

Have you read it?

we all came from inanimate material and all the little atoms, molecules, amino acids, protein,cells etc, etc just happen to come together in the right sequence and viola' out comes life and then that life oozed out more life, then that life oozed out a different life form and other life forms came to be and so and so, and some became male life forms and other female, and some became dogs, cats, elephants, dinosaurs, fish, whales, sharks, octopi, snakes lions Oh, my, kept going until we got to this stage and then BOOOM life stopped evolving.(And I believe in fairy tales get real)

Ah!! One of the best questions yet. It is, of course, perhaps the great thesis of the Bible. How Lucifer the archangel and a group of angels attempted a coup against God and were cast from His presence, allowed to be loose for a time to have influence on earth, only to be eventually chained forever. God could have chained Lucifer and his demons from the beginning, but chose not to. The battle between good and evil serves God's purpose. Malevolent? Without this spiritual battle man would not exist. As far as the universe goes, we are unique. We are the battleground of good and evil.

That is a no brainer--I choose to believe in God--you don't We both chose our path. A bank robbery at one point has to choose to rob or not to rob and stay out of jail. A person chooses to hold their temper and walk away, or to let it explode and do harm to someone else. Yes there are mental factors that play into some people's lives but even then, many choose not to take the medicine that will help them function in this world. Got a nephew who refuses, and because of that, he is serving time. Had he stayed on the meds, then he would have made a better choice.

Much of what has been discussed here is actually doctrine, ie: man's "take' or interperation of God's intent. That is what turns many away. 'How can a just God allow terrible injustices?' A large percentage of these are by the hand of man---by his decision to persecute and make war for greed and power---yes, many are in His name, but are by man's hand and his will. Even church doctrine has man's hand on much of it. God's blamed for far more more than He deserves for acts of man done "in His name".

He's likely been too busy admiring The good Lord's work in constructing the Universe, depending on the power of his eyepiece.

Yes I abbreviated the NGC unwholesomely, but at least you caught my drift.

Back to the query, one has only to see the Horsehead Nebula (sadly, for me, only in photos) one has only to see this to realise that God exists and Terry Pratchett was wholly correct.

Go cheerfully, as always
