30 Days of Truth - Day 19

Day 19 - What do you think of religion? Or what do you think of politics?


I don't want to go on and write a mini-novel about religion.  But, here goes.  I have always believed in God.  


After I was born my parents had me Christened in the Catholic Church.  I attended church on Sundays....not regularly since my father never went- unless it was a funeral or a wedding- from what I remember.  I found that the Catholic Church never fully explained the bible to me.  As a young adult- I was 19- I started going to a non-denominational Fellowship church.  I learned more about the bible and loved it.  


I follow my own faith and beliefs about religion.  I try not to force my opinions about my faith and/or religion on others.  I believe in prayer and I use it often.  I enjoy worshipping on Sundays in a congregation with others.  But, I most often enjoy quiet solitude and talking to God on my own.


You have your beliefs and I have mine.  Enough said.


***One last opinion I have about religion.  I think organizations that set up as a Church- to hide behind the First Amendment to the Constitution is WRONG.  IN MY OPINION WESTBORO BAPTIST CHURCH IS NOT A CHURCH....THEY ARE A CULT. THEY CLAIM TO BE A CHURCH TO HIDE BEHIND THE FIRST AMENDMENT. 
(Amendment 1 - Freedom of Religion, Press, Ratified 12/15/1791. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.) ***



Now onto the question of Politics.  Politics is a dirty thing in my opinion.  I know politics define how our society works, but all the political CRAP that goes on is BS. Is politics a necessary evil in our society?  Yes....sadly it is. Everyone in this country has a right to vote.  To have the collective voices heard.  Most people will not vote unless they feel their voice has not been heard or they feel their personal rights are being squashed. 


Don't believe everything you read in the newspapers or hear/see on Television.  The stories there are not 100% accurate.  Fact find when you can to determine the whole truth for yourselves.


Fact find before you go off on tangents and rage against our government. You want change.  Be the change.  VOTE.


As Robin Williams said in "Man of The Year" movie: "Politicians are a lot like diapers. They should be changed frequently, and for the same reason."


PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL OF THE ABOVE ARE MY OPINIONS.  NO BASHING PLEASE.  THANK YOU.
