Politics on the brain..ugh
I normally do not jump into political debates but I have seen many updates on Facebook dealing with various political situations. I do not define myself as a Republican nor a Democrat. I few things have really annoyed me though. First of all Immigration. This has been in the news quite a bit lately with Arizona's new Anti-Immigration law. I will state for the record that I have not read the law nor done research on the law but I do have feelings toward Immigration. I believe every human being should have the chance to build a life in this country or any country for that matter. What I do not think is right is coming to the country illegally. Come to America, but please if you are going to live here pay taxes and learn our language. Nothing irritates me more then living somewhere and you can not talk to your neighbors because they do not speak English. I would never dream of setting up residence in a country without learning the basics of their language. Instead of forcing people to learn our national language we conform to them. I hear all the time about how we are violating illegals rights. They have no rights!! They are here illegally. It is also downplaying the importance of every single person who has come to American legally and have become legal citizens. Now onto my other irritant. Homosexuality- oh what a big word. I am a big supporter of equal rights and I hope I pass that on to my children. Equal rights and understanding is what we need. I might not be gay but I know people who are and I love them with all my being. I can not say with a straight face that it is fare that I can marry someone but they can not. Their marriage is not hurting me. People use the Bible to stand on their righteousness and I am not sure you should,. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but when you bring the Bible into it please tread carefully. Too many times in society people read the Bible and never question anything. We believe that God spoke to these people and only them and this is the exact message he sent. How many books were left out, how many words have been mis-translated through the years? People who stand on the Bible many times do not look beyond their own blinders of justice to question anything. If I sat down and wrote a book and said God spoke to me and everything I wrote came from Him I would be looked at like I was crazy. I am intelligent enough to know even back then politics were shady. I refuse to believe that the same God that spared my child's life when he was sick is the same God that will throw me into hell for not preaching about condemning another person. I have not done research on these subject but that is not the point. The point is this is a blog and these are my opinions. I know not everyone feels the same way I do and that's OK. I will never ridicule someone for their beliefs.
