God is a Republican?
// September 3rd, 2009 // 4 Comments » // My Thoughts
Over the past 2000 some odd years Christians have always been an eccentric group but I have to admit, I think we got dumber once we got to America. It seems the longer we stay in America the dumber we get! God is not a Republican People! This may offend you or make you think differently about me but I have some news for you. God is Pro Choice. He is the original Pro Choice supporter. He decided to allow you to make ANY choice! you can choose to kill, or heal, or love, or hate, or steal or deal, or make or break, you can fly or flunk or vote or hope but the choice is yours and yours alone! (sounds a little Dr Seuss eh?) My point is … that the freedom to do good or bad is unquestionably given to us by God, our countries leaders knew that. But somewhere somebody decided that it was our jobs as Christians to be the moral police for the USA… NOT OUR JOB! Do you honestly think that God intended to create the world, give everyone the freedom to choose right or wrong and then let YOU decide what they could and couldn’t do so that your religious panties would not get bunched up? Why do you think that Jesus ALWAYS rebuked the pharasees? They were religious zealots that sought to control the population with laws that were never intended by God. Look I love all these great christian leaders that keep telling you that we need to prevent same sex marriage, abortion, etc.. etc… but the fact is that they are incredibly short sighted. It has been proven over and over you cannot legislate morality! The world will do what they want, and we as Christians should be there to pick up the pieces for them. Look at prohibition, abortion, homosexuality, same sex marriage, every time those issues are subjected to intense scrutiny and outrage by well meaning “christian” activists, it only serves to alienate that group of people from Christians even further. I would bet $1000 dollars that you take a few fishermen and start protesting their fishing as evil and ungodly and those previously harmless fishermen will become pitchfork bearing villagers bent on eradicating every christian in sight.
So before you get up on your conservative high horse and begin railing on me for being a liberal, or a democrat, or a heretic or whatever, hear me out.
I think that everyone should have the right to do what they like… just like God Created us. This works fine… the world takes care of these things naturally… they don’t want to bother with religion. i.e. you kill someone you will probably end up dead or in jail-pretty much happens all over the world. The thing is you get religion involved with making laws… and you end up with “King James” you know… the guy that created a Church State and killed people for not attending the State Churches? This is the same Guy we ran away from to America and decided that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof” It wasn’t the state that was the problem in the first place… it was religion all along.
Religious zealots killed Jesus
Religious zealots started the bloody crusades
Religious zealots persecuted protestants
Religious zealots have alienated homosexuals
Religious zealots are unreasonable
Religious zealots are unmerciful
Religious zealots are intolerant of anything except what they believe
Religious zealots bomb abortion clinics
So when you get all excited and worked up and angry about how all of these groups are attacking your morals and fundamental beleifs remember… we fired the first shots in this war… and God never authorized the war.

with snow falling this thick the roads quickly become an ice rink with cars sliding and bumping around like ungraceful hockey pucks. It is fairly common to see cars sprinkled in the ditches along the side of the road. As I passed one such car hopelessly stuck deep in a ditch.. the driver unharmed but very unhappy.. .the following story came to mind… so with that I will share it!
