Exaggerated and made up example of what I’m curious about:
My country has legitimate elections. When my government wrongly convicts someone I feel as if I have personally wronged that person by voting for the person who appointed the judge. God will judge both me and the judge for it.
Not really.
I get upset that the government has done something I disagree with or find immoral but even if I voted for a person I am still no more in control of that person than I am any other person.
I do my best to vote for people I feel are good people in line with my preferred policies but I only accept guilt over my own actions. For example, when I voted in the presidential election, I had no way of knowing what was about to happen in Israel. How can I accept guilt over my elected officials actions without knowing what they would be in an unpredictable future?
