Throughout this entire election process, I have made it a point to hush about my beliefs and my choice of candidate. A lot of people believe I'm skewed more towards Obama. I welcome opinions, but I never confirm anything and I love that it bothers people because they can't get it out of me. Plus, it doesn't really matter because I can't vote anyway. (Next election though!) I refuse to see parties anymore. I am a Christian, but that does not mean (FOR ANYBODY) that I must vote or choose to support the Republican candidates. I'm so sick and tired of both parties trashing each other and people trying to 'argue' with me (even though I remain 100% neutral...ignorance) and 'tear me to shreds' with their USELESS 'facts' and information that they probably derived from some biased website or commercial. Both sides are ridiculous at this point.

I am always going to be dumbfounded by the Christian Republicans who don't vote for a Democratic candidate-who may be an amazing one at that, like Obama-because they're so HUNG UP on the fact that they are pro-choice and in support of homosexual union. Those people may as well not even vote because they are not ready to accept the responsibility. If we are Christians, we should be first of all praying about who God should lead us to vote for. Then, if it is a candidate with a platform that has a couple of issues that we should disagree with, PRAY THAT GOD WILL MOVE IN THOSE PLACES AND PREVENT THINGS FROM HAPPENING. It really paints a clearer picture of where our faith in God is in these times.

I'm especially disgusted with the Christian Republicans right now for how they reinforce the negative stereotype for Christians. It really ruins it for a lot of us. A lot of them also voted for President George W. Bush, a man that the majority of this country at this point is having a hard time keeping respect for. They did it because their EGOS are too big to fit in their heads. They are after all 'Christians' so they MUST vote Republican, right? Bull.

This blog is getting too long and there is too much more to say. So I'll stop here and maybe finish it another time...or I may even just leave it unfinished!


Edit: Ha, and I totally just realized how Democrat I sounded because I chewed out the Republicans twice! Oh well!

I come up with all these different "philosophies" or reasonings or just things that are somewhat of a "reinforcement" to something I need to just face...I don't follow many of them either...I don't push them on other people...They're just these random realizations I have that are short lived, yet really interesting. I'm going to make it a point to write them down when they come to me from now on, just for fun. I'm just going to post a few...

You love what you loathe, and sometimes, you are what you loathe.-I've come to find that partially true...it really depends on the situation. But I like this one.

If people want you in their lives, they'll find a way to keep you there. If God wants certain people in your life, He'll keep them there. -100% true in my opinion. Everyone knows this.

The ability to find fault in yourself or take the blame in a situation (truthfully, not for pity) and also having the ability to humble yourself and apologize and/or confess, is key to dealing with people. -I find it quite common that the people who are incapable of those two things together, are extremely unhappy.

People mess up, but it is not our job to condemn. It is our job to pray and be forgiving.

You can't forgive or forget, you have to do both. -When we repent to God, He forgets what we have done and we can move on. If you cannot forget something someone has done to you, you really haven't forgiven them. Especially if you tend to bring it up again in later times.

Sex before marriage has more cons than pros. -I can support that on MANY non-religious reasons too...but I'll go in depth on that another time.

So yeah...I really don't think I'm some "wise philosopher" or ponderer or anything of the sort...I just like to come up with these things. I'm very much like my father in this sense.

God bless.
