Politically Religious!

Politically Religious!


It amazes me the people that call themselves Christian, and live in their righteous world of casting judgment upon others, as if they were God handing down a sentence for our sins. They look down on us, because we do not go to church on a weekly basis, put fish stickers on our cars, have our radio stations set to the local Christian channel, or throw our hands in the air and scream Amen! They also think if we do not vote for the same person at election time, that they feel is politically fit for their Christian outlook, we must be doomed for hell. While I understand that their choice of who they vote for fits their moral values, and may support their biblical position on life choices, does this mean they have made the wisest choice?

Despite the fact that I think a true Christian would not stand in judgment of others, or cast stones upon those they call sinners, and they will live by example of what love really should be, like having forgiveness, compassion, and understanding, there are those that call themselves Christian that lack all this. They fight with those they view as sinners about the person they voted for at election time, claiming that the other person’s choice was the wrong one, and that they must not hold any moral standards, but still are they right?

We all hold different outlooks on life, and each of us have made choices of how we choose to live our life. Some of us choose not to go to church for reasons only known to us, but yet we believe in God, and we most certainly believe in living with good ethics, and live with love towards our fellow man, and hold compassion for those that are lost in their life choices that lead them in wrong directions. There are those of us that know in the end that we all are only human, and that it is not our place to look down and cast a verdict on another person’s choices in life, and if others vote for someone we do not share a mutual position with does that make me or they wrong?

What it boils down to is being politically correct, not all people that call themselves Christian are hypocrites, there are those that live by example showing what the meaning Christian truly should be, and it is not a matter of who is the right or the wrong person to vote for, it is about the person that can show the true meaning of leadership and wise choices for our country. So while one man may go to church every week, and lack the love and compassion that is taught, and another man who does not go to church yet shows more love and compassion than any Christian, is he or she wrong in God’s eyes? It is about being Politically Religious, it is about understanding that we all are different, right, wrong or indifferent, and the choices we make for our own lives are in the end the choices we alone will have to live with, and what is one man’s view is not necessarily wrong, just different from our own and we must have the wisdom to respect that difference.
