Things that really piss me off...........
I have grown somewhat weary from the political season. I am ready for November 2nd to roll around so I can cast my vote. Just as everyone else better be. I keep a steady eye on the news these days. Lately it has been much of the same as Kerry and Bush exchange their closing arguments for the election. Today, as I was driving back from Houston I heard a news report that hacked me off. John Kerry has been campaigning at churches every Sunday for awhile now. As you hear him give his speech, which has nothing to do about God, you hear the wild cheers in the background.
First of all, the money changer needs to be run out of the church with a whip. George Bush is a man of faith, not just during a campaign, but it is a part of his whole life. Kerry on the other hand is profiting (as in earning votes) by going into various houses of faith to get them. John Kerry has no past history of being a man of faith. I hope you see a big problem with this as I do. I have heard no reports of Bush making campaign speeches from the pulpit. I am sure that I would have as much as I keep an eye on things. Of course, it is possible that I missed something. I would frown on the idea if Bush did campaign from the pulpit, even though he is more qualifed to do it. Secondly, which of the two presidential candidates will advocate separation of church and state? Let me take a BIG guess. John F. Kerry maybe? Then why in the heck is he campaigning from the pulpit? Quite hypocritical.
Even though I believe that faith should be a part of government, I do not believe that politics should grace the pulpit. It should grace the votes of the congregation. When I say that faith should be a part of government, it means that an elected official should not be condemed for making decisions based on his/her faith. Their faith should be clear to the voters that vote them into office, so it should not be a suprise when they carry on with faith. This faith is not Christian exclusive. Our constitutional rights give us a freedom of religion. When the comstitution says religion, is does not mean Christian exclusive. I do not advocate a Christian law state. Christians should be able to be elected and make desicions based on their faith just like any other person of a different faith.
I have written this in a fuming state of mind. So it is possible that in the future I could retract a thought of two. Just call call me a flip flopper if I do (hahaha). I welcome your thoughts and responses HERE.
