10/26/14For at least a month now, the
television has been bombarded with political campaign ads. What really gets me
is how they put out negative ads bashing one another. In this day, there is
such a big deal made over bullying and teaching our children not to bully, yet
all hours of the day on television that is exactly what the politicians are
doing to one another and they are supposed to be our leaders. Not a good
example. I can’t change the channel fast wnough when they come on. I tune them
completely out and stop listening, but they are annoying! It has gotten so bad
that I am tempted to unplug the television. Unlike most homes, we do not have
cable television, so we cannot just change the channel. It is on every
commercial one afer another. You also see it in magazines, tons of flyers in
the mail, the radio, and even ads before you watch internet videos. There is
also the aspect of money. These politicians campaign and want our money for
support so they can use more money and more money to make more ads on tv. Just
think of the amount of money that goes into these hideous ads on television.
That is money that we could be putting to good use in our state. It is just
plain nuts! It is out of control and
makes me not want to even vote.
People don’t like to talk politics or religion. It is very
personal and stirs up some very defensive conversations. I have wanted to ask a democrat
"Why do people who claim to be
Christians, chose to be democrats?"
Now, for non-believers/atheists, I can totally get that and
would expect it. On the other hand, if a person is a Christian, then I struggle
to understand. As a Christian how
do you vote democrat when there are such huge issues that God detests? How
can you have a biblical outlook on the following? Let’s take gay marriage, it
is so against what the bible says. God created Adam and Eve, Man and woman to become one in marriage to love and reproduce or bearing fruit and those children and in God's image. Two women or two men cannot do this. I can’t
help but think of the kids of this generation. The media is exposing our children to not only the issue of it, but the grotesque scenes. I have noticed since the gay marriage has been approved, it has affected
television greatly. There are very few shows on television that don’t have gay scenes
in them. It’s not just a casual topic anymore, its full out sexual lust and immorality. I monitor
my kids television so much and still it creeps in. The news gets over and rolls
right into a soap opera where two men are embraced in bed. Comedies make it aout to be cute and funny. It's just plain sick. Media is forcing it
on everyone. Kids grow up with that, no wonder there so confused.
Abortion is the
killing of an innocent child, the bible says thou shall not kill. The baby is a
child that deserves to live. I will never understand abortion. There are so
many parents in this world barren that would give anything to have a child and
yet we dispose of them like a piece of trash. I am a huge advocate for adoption. I would love to see loving parents adopt. It breaks my heart to see children waiting for a forever home. It makes me even sader to think a child should be eliminated becuase the birth mother just doesn't want it.
Democrats like to give second and third chances. Criminals
get a second and third chance, and we saw the results of that with Kathlynn in our hometown of Dayton. I hear criminals all the time get off with little to nothing.
Democrats have passed
laws removing God from school and they are trying to remove him from just about
everything. Instead of teaching creation
and giving God credit for what he created, we have turned it into evolution. You
can’t read a bible, say a prayer, sing Christian songs at concerts, or even
mention the world Christmas. Well, what do people think we celebrate in
December, a holiday of the coming of Santa. Really?? Ranks right up there with
the Easter Bunny instead of the resurrection.
Without biblical teaching kids have no morals and values, no
modesty in clothing, no abstinence in relationships, peer pressure is just
being cool, no respect for parents and teachers due to no discipline at home.
Oh the list goes on.
There are so many other things, but this is just a few that
I struggle to understand. The only thing
that comes to mind are people that are not Christ followers. So when I hear
that there are Christians that vote democrat, I just can’t comprehend. Please
help me to understand. I have tried and tried to wrap my mind around it. Am I missing
something?
Proverbs 14:12
There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the
way to death.
Romans 1:18 For the
wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and
unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.
John 3:36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life;
whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains
on him.
Wrath- people are bringing it upon themselves.
Wrath- people are bringing it upon themselves.
