Just keep in mind the unpleasantries of someone judging what you think and trying to dissuede you from what you believe when coming at it from the other side. Remember the fact that in America the thing that is the least hard to be is a white christian. It would be easier were you a white christian male, but white christian is the next best thing

It's funny because everyone says that being a Christian is such a popular vote...when really, the media and our generation looks down on it. I used to looked down on it too
( ... )
Media and our generation look down on Christians if you watch the news skewed to the left. If you watch Fox everyone else is God-hating tree-hugging hippie pussies who should be water boarded and if you do things like follow the separation of church and state you are un American and should die.
Im not saying hate doesnt exist towards Christians, but at the same time EVERYONE at some point in their life will be hated for something very very petty and stupid. Its just fact. And it is also fact that a majority of Americans are Christians and thus when they vote and do things they vote with God's will ignoring the separation of Church and State.... Im all for believing what you want to believe. Morality in America is also fine and dandy, but you cant force God on the other 46% or so.... which is why you sometimes get hate speech.
Remember, this all is a logical and reasonable thought out statement, but at 4 amish with a bottle of rum in my system I may be lying to myself. Im just lucky Im wearing pants and not trying dangerous
That is my point exactly. How did Obama win? Because he isn't an irrational douche-bag. Hell, I would have voted McCain pre-2000 but something in him changed. And by that I mean he turned into George Bush v.2 which is not something that works. Not to mention Sarah Palin might actually be retarded.
By Obama winning the only non christian things he has agreed with is not overturning abortion (which even if McCain won wouldnt happen) and he wants to get rid of dont ask dont tell and is open to gay marriage. When asked about gay marriage he doesnt agree with it, but he knows that making it against the law is unconstitutional.
This is another reason why you will hear more hate speech is lumping together Christianity and politics. Like as soon as you believe in God you have to Vote Republican on every issue.
If you will note nearly every state with an anti-gay marriage bill passed even though it pretty much spits on the constitutional ideas of equality and separation of church and state.
I haven't met one real Christian person who wanted to vote for Obama.... And the whole anti-gay marriage thing isn't only disagreed among Christians. There are people out there who just HATE everything..like the KKK people. So that isn't really a Christian thing either [and no, KKK isn't Christian btw..] Some people I talked to just don't agree with gay people getting married..why? I dunno. I just think that gay marriage shouldn't bring God into it. That is extremely hypocritical.
Oh and the bill was very confusing..my friend Will who is gay didn't even understand the amendment when voting for it and accidently voted against it. And not every homosexual really cares about the whole "marriage" thing. Will told me he understands about the whole marriage deal, and said he wouldn't want that kind of marriage simply because it has to do with God. He'd rather get a civil courtship deal where he just has the same benefits.
It is not hypocritical, the fight against gay marriage is largely fought by the christian community. Hell, Id say well over 89% of the people against it are against it because it is against "gods will" and say its a choice rather than people being born that way. That is just fact. Hell I know non-christian people who are against teaching evolution in schools but it doesn't mean the fight isnt widely considered a christian fight
( ... )
The only argument I know widely about against Obama is the universal medical care. It's only good for a small portion of the US, and screws the people who purposely make enough money to get the better medical care...in that way, he is looking like a communist/socialist.
Oh and I don't really care about the Gay Marriage ban, by the way. I am not Gay, and therefore I don't look into it. It doesn't affect me in any way...I wasn't born gay or hate guys enough to be it or want to be cool. I already went through that phase in my life where I thought I was gay...and I thank God that I am not. Being gay sucks, and everyone is against you. So I am glad I wasn't born that way. I don't mean to sound like a total ass hole, but being a homosexual puts you at a high risk. You may be supported by a lot of people and make friends in our generation, and get hooked up easier...but I am honestly glad I am not homosexual.
And in that light..I don't argue about Gay Marriage because I simply don't care. I know that I HAVE to care about one side...but I just don't. It's not my battle, and I feel like there are more IMPORTANT things to argue about then who people have sex with.
Well yes but let me put it this way, do you know the details of the plan that has been put in front of him that he favors? My grandparents complain about that constantly and say he is a socialist but the plan he is in favor of and would attempt to put forth doesn't dissolve our medical system as is and have socialized medicine. The plan his people put forth is to create a government plan that is affordable to people who dont make enough money (for instance me) so we can, you know, get medical care we need without going bankrupt. The point of this government plan is to cause better pricing in the market so that the other companies will stop over charging people for everything

A common thought. Hell I only just heard about the program they favor from one of the people who proposed it and it sounded interesting. She wrote a book about it which I may read.
Politics are retarded, which makes me want to run for school board... though Id probably loose because I like to hear both sides of arguments and think about it slightly.
If you want to look something up since I know you and your love of art I suggest a long lost Tv show gem called Lidsville. I had seen it before and it freaked me out and with all the talking about Land of the Lost being made into the movie and all I re heard about it with a slew of other shows those producers did... really weird trippy stuff. Lidsville is about a kid who goes to a magic show and falls into a magic hat and goes to a place where hats live and he hangs out with hats... If I did drugs of any kind I would only watch that show for the rest of my life. BUT I don't. Still it is interesting to watch and you may enjoy it even if for just a small laugh.
