The JG Rant

One of the things that really upsets me is when Christians argue about politics. I'm completely for people having different opinions than my own, but when they say things like "I wish everyone here was a republican, and I wish democrats would just get saved" just really gets me going. I mean don't judge someone because they think differently than you. I'm neither republican nor democrat. I believe that both political parties are equally corrupt and full of people who could careless for those they are representing. I would rather just not be associated with either party and just do what Jesus has called me to do.

Today I was going to the rot which is the cafeteria here at Liberty and there was some local politician standing by the doors introducing himself to the students and shaking a few hands. We get these guys all the time so it's pretty normal to see this happening. Usually I'm just hungry and could careless what he is saying so I will say something like, oh I'm Canadian I can't vote anyway or I read all about you on Google you don't have to tell me anything. But today I was feeling kind of spunky so as I got that good ole right winged handshake I looked at him and just said, "I'm a democrat." I thought that was the end of it but as I was walking away he yelled, "It's okay you're young I will be praying for you." Maybe I'm making this into a bigger deal than it was but for someone to think that because I don't belong to the political party he does that I need prayer was kind of sickening. I understand that we all need prayer equally but if I had been someone who wasn't a Christian that would have been a pretty big turnoff. I'm sure his heart was in the right place it was just his demeanor that came off as pretty self righteous. I'm also not one of those people who hate to be told what to do, I can take correction just don't tell me how to think.

I just wished we lived in a world where people genuinely loved others, forgave mistakes, and put all selfish ambition away. That would eliminate so much drama and think how much we could progress as a people with a common goal of helping others.

I will try to not write too much about serious things I want this to be fun and random, but that's what was on my mind.

I honestly think I could go the rest of my life without ever hearing the words, legit, epic, and fail. When I hear people use those I want to like give them a epic punch in the face and be like oh fail!!! That would be epic.
