My Thoughts On Politics and the 2024 Election

I am posting this on my OWN PAGE and posting is publicly which I rarely do. I am doing this so I have greater control over snarky and hateful comments. Yes, they will be deleted. And NO it is none of your business who I voted for even if I voted at all. 

Now, here are my thoughts on the ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE AND HATEFUL posts I have seen on my feed from ALL SIDES. You should be ashamed of yourselves. It sickens me.

I think that God looks at ALL OF THE HUMAN RACE...ESPECIALLY THOSE OF US IN THE USA with disgust. Much like parents do when their adult kids do stupid crap. I mean here God gave us the world. We did not take care of it and it became so immoral that He flooded it with the exception of a few. We continued in our dysfunction and hatred of eachother so much that He sent His only son to try to teach us ONE THING....LOVE. 

All Jesus did was teach about LOVE. He did not hang out with the elite and pious religious jack wads of that time. He hung out with the prostitutes, tax collectors and what the "main stream" people of that time saw as scum of the human race. God even sacrificed His only Son to try to teach us that LOVE is the answer. Have we learned anything? Obviously not. Because of the hateful posts and memes I have seen. It breaks my heart. 

I believe that satan (if you believe in it) is sitting back laughing with perverted joy at the hatefulness and division that politics has caused in our country. Instead of focusing on Jesus and LOVE, people are demanding that they are right and anyone who doesn't agree with them should be excommunicated and damned to hell forever. I am referring to ALL sides in this pissfest.

I guess I'm different. I understand that there are much more important things in life than whoever is president, who is elected to whatever government office or whatever political party someone is in. All that is a game of smoke and mirrors anyways. Sadly, most people are either too blind or dumb or both to see it. They continue to drink the Kool-Aid of hatred and follow the pied piper aka wolf over the cliff with all the other sheeple.

While everyone is bitching and spewing hate about recent political events, there are still people in this world who need help!! Some are homeless. Some work their asses off only to not have enough left after paying bills to feed their families. There are alcoholics and addicts who are trapped in the insanity of that disease who just need help getting out of their own nightmare. Still others are secretly thinking about exiting this crazy world at their own hands while their families are focused on politics and rage. Their families will be stunned when their loved ones finish the job and they missed the signs. What about those still trying to recover from losing everything in the recent hurricanes? And let's not forget those who are battling a terminal disease such as cancer or something else!! I venture to guess that all of these people could care less about politics and who won or lost anything. They are just praying for their own miracle and hoping they can make it through another day. They desperately need the LOVE Jesus tried to teach us about!!!

In my humble opinion EVERYONE...whether Red, Blue, Purple (my favorite color) or no color at all needs to STOP with the hatred and START practicing the very things they sing and read about in churches across this nation on Sundays. Quite frankly, sitting in a church will not make you a Christian any more than sitting in a garage will turn you into a car. Isn't there a quote somewhere that says, "And they will know we are Christians by our LOVE"? People need to sit down, shut up and really reread the Bible, and actually LIVE what Jesus taught. Remember those pesky red letters...ya know...the words Jesus supposedly said? A few of my favorites are:

John 13:34-35

"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another"

John 15:12-13

"My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends"

Luke 6:27-31

"Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. Do to others as you would have them do to you"

I do not really care who won or lost a political election. I understand that there are other forces at play in this world. Some good, some bad. I also understand that ultimately God is in charge and I trust Him much more than any person in this world. So, I am going to focus on my Higher Power and LOVE. The haters can just hate and block me. I do not care. I probably won't even notice they are gone.

To my family, that I call my Looney Tunes tribe... you know where I stand on things and you know I do not care what your political beliefs are at all. I just love you for who you are and nothing is ever going to change that. I am so proud of everyone of you. God blessed me with you! I love you more than life itself!!

 

The last thing I'm going to say with all sincerity is this...

I pray and will continue to pray that God shatter the bonds of hatred that so many people in my community and country have willingly shackled themselves with. I pray that they find their way back to LOVE. In the name of Jesus, God, the Holy Spirit, the Great Spirit, My Creator, the Universe, the Primordial Ooze and other things I call Higher Power at any given moment. Amen and amen!!
