So most of these post have not been me just completely going off on a rant and have been a little thought out, but here is a rant. I am so fed up with people this election!!
First off let me say that I think everyone has a right to thier opinion and the right to express it, including me. One opinion is that I have more respect for a person who disagrees with me because that is how they genuinely believe then I do for someone who believes one thing and does something completely different.
As a born-again, spirit-filled Christian I believe that a baby is a baby at conception and terminating that is not a woman's right or choice, but murder. I also believe that marriage is between a man and a woman and there is no diviation from that. If you disagree with those and vote for Obama or others that support those that is your right and I at least respect you for voting with your convictions. However, if you are a born-again, spirit filled Christian and vote for Obama I have a huge issue with you. You may say you don't support those things, but by casting your vote you are doing exactly that! Furthermore, those of you who chose not to vote at all because even though you are against those things but don't like the candidate, you are just as guilty!
As Christians we are called to sacrafice certain things, and if I have to sacrafice to vote according to my moral beliefs than I do so with a clear conscience knowing that I have not swayed from my value system. I have many friends who political and moral opinions differ from mine and I respect them for at least sticking to them as I hope they respect me for the same. I also have friends who agree with my moral stance but are voting the oposite because of race or what they think will benefit their finances and I have no respect for that, and I feel sorry for you for not having the backbone to at least stand for what you supposedly believe in.
So I leave you with this question........ Are you voting for what you truly believe in or for what you think will benefit you in spite of those beliefs?
