Religion and Politics

[lionus]

Personally I like religious political candidates. The ones that take their religion seriously and practice it seriously. I know that that will bring gasps of horror for the liberal side of my audience, but hear me out.

The vast majority of religions tell their believers to ‘be good, do good, be honest, and help other folk which will pay off for

Well said

While instruments can measure reality accurately, it is we subjective humans who interpret what those measurements mean. Even when there is an agreed upon standard of what those instrument readings mean, it does not prevent us from filtering them through our own preconceptions. And since reality is largely perception, what we think reality is - makes it so for us

What you have said is chillingly true. Brrrr...

I have a couple of knee-jerk reactions...

First) "for which they are paid unbelievable amounts of money for"
Are you envious?

Second) "Personally I like religious political candidates"
Yah, I don't. Those are the ones that tend to get radical on your ass and want to start shoving people around and forcing the religion down your throat.

Third) "Most dumb Americans seem to vote for the most glamorous candidate, who generally has no outward moral code beyond a personal drive for power and financial success."
How true! It is happening now, McCain and Obama... SAD!

Fourth) "FILE THIS UNDER: Huh?"
Call this a 'yikes' moment for you... when you get all radical and the like, you scare me!

Fifth) You finally posted again!!!!!
Yay!
