   I haven't failed,  you just don't want to accept that the teaching/doctrine   
   of the overwhelming majority of Christians encourages   them to become   
   involved in   "Affairs of this life" by an involvement of the  "Affairs of   
   state". by either voting  or becoming personally involved in secular   
   political activates.   
      
   >I conclude that it does not exist.   
      
   Because you know you  agree to  such secular activities yourself, so you   
   blind your eyes to it......{;o;}   
      
   But it still doesn't alter the truth of the Scripture teaching.......   
      
   "3 Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4 No soldier   
   on service entangleth himself in the affairs of this life......"   
      
   Then comes the grim warning, Steve.   
      
   ....... 5 And if also a man contend in the games, he is not crowned, except   
   he have contended lawfully. "   
   2 Tim 2:3-5 (ASV)   
      
   So please  be warned.   
      
   No compliance, no crown.
