Just frustrated over politics
 
Not writing this to argue or to cause waves or to point fingers at anyone.....it is just a statement of frustration. Not speaking for anyone but myself as a Christian who seems frozen into some sort of immobility...
 
The time has come when people really have to choose a side. My hope is that when we each do we will use our conscience and not allow ourselves to be swept along by the so called culture war that is going on. Or perhaps there is one....I tend to be confused. The people I meet on a regular basis seem to be down to earth, well intended and thoughtful. Of course when two people get together who have opposing views, it does bring out the worst from both sides. I really see little difference between the two parties when it comes to public debate or should I say bashing. I know in the past it was no different, but with the internet the intensity is growing apace, and doing more harm.
 
I am not sure how I will vote. Hilary I don't trust, Trump, not sure what is behind the bolster. How is a Christian to vote? People tend to vote for self interest and often by their race.... which candidate will really deliver?
 
I wish I was smarter, but I have never gotten politics so I think it freezes me into immobility. Perhaps politics will not change the country. The only way it will change is for each of us to 'change', or to 'convert', or to live out of beliefs in a manner that is consistent with what we say we believe. No matter what they are. If one is a Christian be one, if a humanist, be one, change from the bottom up. Hilary and her husband are in politics as a career, they have gotten rich with it. Nor sure they really care one way or the other. Trump, him I can't figure out at all.
 
I guess self examination must start with me....I think the scripture verse, "The just man falls seven times a day" applies with me. Perhaps we can't be fixed at this time, but maybe there is some sort of law that states what when a society goes so far either way it will come to a crossroads and either live or die. Choose life the Scriptures says....will we, which way should we go?
 
I guess the answer will depend on how deeply we actually live out what we say we believe

Hi Markdohle,

  I don't concern myself with politics, I swore an oath of alleagence to my country, which in my terms is being owned by the flavor of the day. I also worked at the legislative buildings of our province. It was a maintenance position so I dressed accordingly, apperantly that diminished my ability to understand English and overheard things that should never have been discussed in my presence.If I could hang a sign that said No Peddlers, Panderers, Politicians,or political Flunkies allowed.TRESPASSERS WILL BE VIOLATED. And the a Happy Face. :lol:
