Just
when I thought I got all of the political ads out of my mind and their mudslinging
wash from ears, along comes a quote from Susan B. Anthony “I always distrust
people who know so much about what God wants them to do to their fellows.”
I
am a Multifaith Chaplain who serves all without exception. I certainly have my own very personal views
on religion, relationship with I know is sacred and what I declare as my faith.
When
I hear politicians campaigning and they are pandering to mostly fundamentalist Christian
values and views I get nervous. Because then
they start saying what is good and bad for our country based on those values
and views. THIS is where I believe the
Separation of Church and State should also apply, at least the Bill of Rights,
the first Amendment should protect EVERYONE from a politician bringing his/her
religious views into a campaign. What if
THOSE “rites”, views, or practice match up with EVERY SINGLE American (which
they don’t.)
I
am VERY skeptical about ANY politician who wants to hold office with his/her
religious views being the foundation of their agenda. That is forcing their religious values down
the throats of every single American regardless if we like it or not, regardless
if we have the same values or not.
It
is important to be informed about who you are voting for, regardless of party
or affiliation. I ask each reader to insure that before they cast any vote for
anyone, be sure you have done your homework and your values match up EXACTLY
with the person you may, with your vote, put in office to “control” our laws,
future and freedoms.
We can be the change we seek in
this world. and in ourselves. One
day. One journey. One person.
One vote at a time.
