Isn't it funny how our words and our actions can oftentimes oppose themselves. I'm thinking specifically here about the so-called Religious Right, and more specifically still, those that are politically active.
And the deception should be more easily recognized by the masses; but it's not. I'm a thoroughly convinced that, in this country, Religion and Politics are mirrors of each other so much of the time. First of all, just mention either of these two words and most people will clam up. There seems to be an innate fear and awkwardness about discussing either one, by the general public. Consequently, today's leaders, in both of these arenas, can manipulate and mislead their constituents with seeming ease and skill.
This manipulation works so well that some people can tout the Bible, wrapped themselves up in symbolism, and make grand claims to be following the almighty God. Yet these are the same people who spout bigotry and hatred, with ease, against anyone they choose, especially in politics. As long as they flash there Christian credentials (like a policeman's badge) before the people, they will accept hateful speeches and outright lies that these so-called Christians produce.
I just find it intriguing that such double-talk works over and over again and with hardly any rebuke from the listeners. I could go on for a week and a day talking about this, but I won't. I just hope some of you will wake up and smell the coffee.

Again I agree. Especially with the fact that to you Religion and Politics mirror each other. I am so sick of the So called Conservatives claiming Christianity as though we aren't Saved. Quite frankly, I question their Salvation. That is my thought.
