RM goes political.

******DISCLAIMER: These are my thoughts. My blog, my thoughts.****************

The election is drawing to a close, finally. I'm so excited for the results because I'm feeling like my candidate will win. I don't usually say much about politics on here, but I would like to share my thoughts, only for the purpose of understanding me:

Family Values--- have no place in politics. Usually, the person who is ranting about restoring family values is the same one who snorts cocaine and cheats on his wife. Family values are easy to fix and don't require politicians. People seem to want to rely on politicians to fix what is wrong with our values, when in reality, people are just to0 damn lazy to fix it themselves. If family values are so important, then focus on your family. Stop stealing, lying, etc and work on your marriage... don't get divorced and have custody battles... don't be a crappy person. Fixing family values starts with your family, outside of that you shouldn't be worried.

Christian Nation---- UMMM NO. No matter how you slice it, you are sorely misinformed if you think this is a Christian nation. If you like to be deluded, then continue to believe it is. Our founding fathers were actually trying to AVOID THAT... hence the separation of church and state. I completely appreciate the values of Christianity and the role it played in our country's beginnings. It stops there. Your morals are not my laws. Stop trying to save everyone. Not everyone is Christian and not everyone wants you to save them. Your religion is personal, please keep it that way. I really wonder if the extremists realize what it would be like to be a Christian nation??? DO they think? Adultery will become punishable by law, divorces will not be available, NO SEX for any purposes other than procreation... And I find it FANTASTIC that the same politicians who push for this Christian nation are the same ones who DO commit adultery, divorce numerous times, and have LOTS of non-babymaking sex. We're a free nation, the end.

Creationism--- teach that in Sunday school. Do you see me trying to teach your sunday school classes evolution??? No. So please stop trying to save my childrens' souls by brainwashing them with your personal beliefs. Creationism isn't an American concept, it's a Christian one and should be kept to churches. It's not based on science, the end.

Gay marriage--- We're so worried about the sanctity of marriage... yet everyone gets divorced. If we were really trying to keep marriage so pure, we'd stop seeing higher divorce rates. Marriage is a concept. If you pay taxes, you deserve the rights that come with being a citizen. No one is asking the churches to accept marriage, just the state. Yet, the churches feel it necessary to step in.

Abortion--- It's awful, I know. I hate that we even have to think about it, but we do. The fact of the matter is that it is a decision you make based on your morals. I don't want the government (under religious influence) to decide my morals for me or anyone else. Laws serve the purpose to protect people and prevent harm. Should it be illegal for pregnant moms to drink alcohol and smoke? It's obviously wrong to me, but should it be illegal? My point is that there's a line where it becomes wrong, and that line is different for different people. You decide your line and you have to live with it. Don't think that you are so intelligent and moral that you get to decide MY line. I've seen "good people" and I know how I compare.

Sex Education--- Education is good, remember? The fact that we're keeping important life knowledge from our children in an effort to reinforce Judeo-Christian values is beyond me. If you were personally able to wait until marriage to have sex, then please stand up. That's what I thought. Give your children every opportunity and piece of knowledge that's out there. Don't let your fears of moral impurity cloud your judgement and make you deprive them of knowledge. What's next??? Books being banned?? Oh wait, they did that in Alaska.
