Elections, Politics, & Jesus

I hate elections because people are crazy. CRA-ZY. No matter what side you are on, or who you vote for, it defies all logic. Don't get me wrong, I vote just like everyone else, but that's the system that I'm a part of. It's amazing to me that people can't see that they aren't going to change anyone's moral convictions BECAUSE of politics. Politics provide no answers or solutions to anything...especially long term. Politics have become religion in the U.S., and it makes me really sad when I think about it. To see all these people I know spewing ridiculous, hateful words on Facebook, Twitter, Buzz, etc., all in the name of being a Democrat or Republican. "Just voted against the Nazis today!" "I voted against Communism!" Hmmm, yes. Now I see it! You are right. Please sign me up so I can be ridiculous with you too!

Voting has always been a lose - lose scenario for me, and probably always will be.

Republicans: like babies, abuses the environment, likes war, neglects the poor.
Democrats: hate babies, save the whales, anti-war, thinks everyone can be "right" at the same time (unless you don't think they are right).

Sorry. Maybe it's just me, but that sucks.

I'm also tired of people using the Bible and Jesus to support their political agendas. Guess what? Jesus was NOT political! In fact, he was just the opposite. Jesus only served God, and that's it. He was not an undercover Republican or Democrat, so please stop trying to show that Jesus is on "your side." Jesus said to love your neighbor and pray for your enemies. I don't see that happening anywhere in politics. If you want to see change in the community, country, or world, I suggest you stop with the political madness, and take Jesus' advice.
