Opinions Please- Wait! Never mind!

I was having this conversation with my brother in law yesterday on the way to dropping my niece off at work... We were talking about what our views are and how many times we don't share them because it seems to start an argument because I don't happen to agree with someone...  Two different topics came up and both topics are ones that could almost cause a Hatfield and Macoy War all over again... The topics would be if you haven't guessed it already is politics and religion... I decided I was going to write about my views and I'm sure there will be some gasps and "I can't believe she thinks that way"... To those who say that... I have to say "Oh Well"...
Politics: 

I hear over and over and over again about how Obama has been the most horrible president of all times... I don't feel that way... I think he walked into a heck of a mess that needed to be cleaned up after Bush... And it really gets me when I read all these haters on Facebook or where ever they may be saying what they are saying and not really looking up the facts... There are pictures photoshopped and all kinds of garbage... I don't know if I will vote or not... I don't think it is going to do any good to vote since I live in a Republican state... So why vote since Utah has already been decided...  I was looking online for things that Obama accomplished during his presidency and decided to just provide you the link... The list is too long... Here it is...

Obama inherited one of the worst economies in our country’s history... I'm pretty sure most will agree with me on that one... Obama inherited two wars that finally now, after seven or eight years even Republicans are admitting was a terrible idea...

When it comes to the new health program, I can see benefits to it... Sure, there are going to be some things I don't agree with... But I think it would be great to get insurance at a reasonable price and be able to get the medical that I need or someone else needs... And they can't be turned down for pre-existing conditions... For those who have good coverage or those who get everything paid, I'm sure you won't see the benefits to this plan... But when you have no coverage and have to pay for all medical costs that goes into the hundreds of thousands and you know you can't pay... You either don't go to the Dr or file bankruptcy and guess what? The taxpayers pay... For those who get free medical, good for you... But there are millions of people who can't get coverage and this health care plan may be the only hope for them... 

One thing among some others is that we have one heck of a deficit going on and that needs to come down... Do I have the answer? Nope... Do you have the answer? Nope! I wouldn't want to be president for either of the parties... There sure is alot of people who think they have all the answers to everything... I wonder if that would change if they were given the chance to run the country and hear all the complaints from the millions of people... 

What gets me too is that when you mention to almost any of your friends that you have no problem with Obama, you would have thought I committed a national offense... My thoughts is that there is NOT going to be a perfect president and the only one perfect is Jesus Christ Himself... Obama has people over him that he has to answer too and there are alot more people that are in charge... I don't believe that just because I'm a Christian I have to be a Republican... Why in the world would people assume that anyhow? I vote for the person, not the party and I'm registered Democrat but split my vote... I think they need to get rid of party lines... When I vote, I vote for who I think would be the better person for our country...

Religion: 

Kirk Cameron for President
Here is another touchy subject... This subject has been in the limelight because of Chick-Fil-A... And my stand is that I believe that marriage should be between a man and a women... I also believe that I have no right to tell others what to do and that they have to make their own choices... I have friends that are gay, lesbian, bi, Christian and non-Christian... We all have free will and must decide what is right... For me, I stand by what the Bible says and that's it... I respect others and I think respect goes a long way...

I think it is horrible to ask people what they think and then when they get the answer they are put on the chopping block... It happened to Miss California... I'm sure some of you may remember her... She lost her title because she said what she believed about same sex marriage... What a senseless crime that is... Then there is Kirk Cameron... He was asked about marriage and said what he believed in and wow, did the henchman come out after him... Now we have Chick-Fil-A... If people don't want the answer, then don't ask when they know what the answer is before they even asked it... Now Kirk Cameron I would vote for as a president... He has common sense and he knows he isn't perfect... But then there will be some group out there trying to say he thought he was... It is a no win situation... Only with Christ can we win...

I committed the worse sin of all times according to some people... I talked about my views on politics and religion and guess what? They are my views and I'm allowed to have my views... Just like anyone else does... I'm sure someone will get their panties in a bind because I didn't agree with whatever they thought... But not caring... More than anything, I'm sick of all the garbage that is posted about whatever topic and people don't take the time to make sure it is right...

Now I'm done venting and voicing my opinion till the next time...

Oh My,

Never forget the powers that rule this world is not of God's but the power that controls is of God! What was said about a coin whose photo is on it Cesar let that which belongs to Cesar go to Ceasar and that which belongs to God go to God! Yep keep the politics out and let God do His work! Who do you vote for try none of the above and when Christ runs then you'll know!
