So there's been a multitude of posts since the US presidential election results were announced in which people are expressing their desire or compulsion to leave Christianity over the results.

I cannot wrap my head around how absurd that is. If, in good faith, we assume these posts are sincere (and I'm not fully convinced of this; I think there is a decent possibility that they exist to emotionally blackmail the Christians who voted in a way they are displeased with), it is the most ridiculous notion. Think about all the terrible things that have happened in history, even in living memory - it is less than a century since the Second World War which saw the evils of Nazism ravage Europe and cause the deaths of tens of millions. Christians have survived regimes that sought to eradicate Christianity, such as the Bolsheviks in Russia. If none of that shakes one's faith, how on earth can Trump?

It seems far more likely to me that a decent number of these posts are disingenuous and purposefully manipulative, the intent behind them to petulantly threaten the Christians who made a choice to vote in a way they do not approve of - much like a child who threatens to run away from home because his parents won't buy him a new bicycle.

Ultimately, what you choose to do is entirely your choice. But if you abandon Christ over an election result you're disappointed about, I have a very hard time believing you ever truly valued Christ to begin with.
