Are we dancing with the Devil? Politics in America
Religion & Politics have always had a strange relationship. Although many different religions are represented in the United States, we have long been thought of and referred to as a "Christian" nation. Unfortunately, nothing could be further from the truth. Not only has America, but most of the world in general has turned away from God. In a country where all of our currency is stamped with “In God We Trust” we are not allowed to say “One Nation, UNDER GOD, indivisible with liberty and justice for all” when we pledge to our flag. We are not allowed to pray in school, or have a copy of the Ten Commandments in a Government building. That is where the confusion starts with Religion & Politics. Now keep in mind it is not my job to tell you that as a Christian you have to be Republican or you have to be Democrat. That is a decision for each individual to make. I have laid out the views of both parties and leave it up to you as one of God's children to decide which party best reflects your personal and family values. On Sept. 11, 2001 a great tragedy happened in the United States. Afterward our President, Congress, even the media were praying out in the open, singing “God Bless America” and were united in a cause the likes of which had not been seen since the days of WWII. Isn’t it a shame that it takes something like that for it to be acceptable to pray in public. Every Politician in our Government will and has at every instance that is beneficial to them, shouted at the top of their lungs, “GOD Bless you, and GOD Bless the United States of America”, yet many of them don’t have a personal relationship with God, and some don’t even believe he exists. Another one of the many twists and turns in Religion & Politics. It is extremely hypocritical to use the name of God to get elected, or to get people to vote a certain way, when our own Government, the ones that are shouting these words, are the same people that don’t allow us the freedom to pray in schools because we might offend some of the non-christian voters that elected them. If you want to see the degradation that plagues this country today, all you have to do is turn on your television. Crude jokes, foul language, pre-marital sex, having children out of wed-lock, drug use, these are just some of the topics that our kids are force-fed every single day, like they are a part of normal everyday life in America. Made light of to desensitize and dilute our youngsters into thinking it is no big deal. Our acceptance of these immoral subjects, as christians, under the guise of freedom of expression is the single biggest slap in the face to a so-called "Christian" nation. Now I know this section of my site is going to seem a bit controversial to say the least. But it is time as Christians we call a "spade a spade". The United States as a whole is closer to being "Sodom and Gomorra" than a nation of God. Not to mention the fact that we seem to think that someone elected us as the "WHOLE WORLD POLICE DEPARTMENT". If that happened, I sure didn’t see that story on the Evening News. Hear me again people it is time to call a "spade a spade". We have children starving right here, right now, we have an AIDS problem right here, right now, we have homeless people right here, right now, we have a need for money to be spent right here, right now! Wake up people, until we can solve the problems in our OWN back yard, who are we to try to take on solving the problems of the rest of the world. It is time to start to heal our own nation before taking on the problems of some other nation. It is definitely time to call a "spade a spade". On this page we will discuss the two major players in this game, the
Democrats
(or Left) and the
Republicans
(or Right). Who is right? Maybe neither! Since Politics and Religion are such an explosive powder keg I decided that all I would do here is give you an introduction to both parties as well as let you know where they stand on certain issues and when all is said done allow you to make an informed decision when choosing which party you think better expresses the values that are most important to you.
