MY FIRST POST...AND IT'S AN ANGRY ONE! (Part two)

Okay I read this article today on the CNN website (which by the way is my favorite and the best cable news network there is). Can I just say that I am so freaking happy that there are other Christians out there who feel the same way as I do.

In the Bible in the books that come after the four books of the Gospel you see the building of the church. Of course you see many good things, but there is also so much corruption! Many of the leaders of the church throughout history have been very corrupt and have established man made injust laws according to their own selfish and often political agendas.

Of course today in the United States we do not see many religious and spiritual leaders making the laws for the people according to church doctrine at least. The reason for that is probably a little thing that some really smart old guys wrote into our Constitution called the 'Separation of Church and State.' However, that does not stop people from using the Bible to deliberately enforce and change policies in the United States. Don't get me wrong if I had it my way everyone would love Jesus, believe in God, and uphold the Bible in all ways possible, but that's never going to happen!! We Christians need to come to a realization that there are a lot of people in this world who will always and forever refuse to believe in what we believe, and under the United States Declaration of Independence and the Constitution these people are often endowed certain rights that our Bible, our faith, our morals, and our God would find wrong and sinful. It's just the painful truth, and we need to keep loving these people anyway and not condemn them. The best way to act like Christ is not to suppress and tear people down, but to just simply love people like Christ did.
Here's another cool article I just found about young Evangelical Democrats:

MY FIRST POST...AND IT'S AN ANGRY ONE! (Part one)

Okay I guess you can call me a devout Christian. I believe that Christ died for my sins and he is my savior. Now I can have a personal relationship with God because of the extreme sacrifices of Jesus.

NOW WHY EXACTLY DOES THAT MEAN I NEED TO HAVE CONSERVATIVE POLITICAL VIEWS AND BOW DOWN TO GEORGE W. BUSH AND FOX NEWS?

Almost everytime I say that the war in Iraq was a bad idea around fellow Christian friends then its like I'm committing mortal sin. They always give me this look like I'm siding with the liberal sinful people. When I told my various youth group leaders that I was voting for Barack Obama in the primary they gave me looks like I was either an impetulant immature little girl, or a complete hypocrite to everything I say I believe. Well I have news for all of you ultra republican fanatics out there: I am a registered democratic voter because my Christian beliefs have lead me in that direction!

I'll have more about this in a later post...I need some shut eye.
