i don't like either candidate. i dislike one alot more than the other, but in general, i really just don't have good feelings about either.
but aside from the usual "political argument" stuff, what bugs me the most about this is how divided things are. and i'm not talking about polls, i'm talking about my relationships. it seems whether or not i agree with obama is a breaker in some of my relationships. and it breaks my heart.
yes, i understand why you people want to vote for him. no, i do not agree. i don't agree because i believe certain things and what he stands for flies in the face of those things i believe.
hate me for it, get angry, but i will not budge. i believe these things because i believe it when my god says them. i believe these things because the facts back them up.
there are many reasons for it, but the point is, that's just too much for ya'll to get around. the fact that i believe that the government does too much already and that making it bigger will just add to the problem seems to be more important than whether or not i love you guys. if that frustrates you so much that it's hard for you to talk to me, then how do you expect us to have a relationship.
ya'll know who you are if you're reading this. i'm just sick in my heart when you throw yourself headlong into supporting obama or "getting the vote out" or defending palin with your dying breath, yet you won't examine your own hearts and see that your life is spinning out of control. god is knocking at the door but you're all so busy with your "causes" and "passions" that you can't even hear.
i say, let it all go. believe what you believe, but be able to back it up with the word of god and, somewhat less importantly, the facts. if something is false or ungodly, i will tell you. if you insist on it getting in the way of our relationship, i cannot help that.
my heart is to see each of you come to a place where none of it matters. where all that matters is loving daddy. it seems that everyone is picking sides in the damn election and i can't wait til it's fucking over. it hurts me to my innermost being that the "issues" are more important than the heart.
i'm not saying voting isn't important, and i'm not necessarily saying it is. because i honestly don't know right now.
what i am saying is that, for any of our relationships to work, politics can't be such a huge issue that it makes or breaks it. neither can anything else be.
i'm kinda done with this rant... but i feel like it hasn't set in with any of you... and i don't know that it will. so i'll pray for ya'll. and please seek god on this, because you're more passionate about your country than you are your god. and that's dangerous ground. patriotism is good, but not above relationship and service to the god who allowed this country to exist.
