Why is it ok for people to say hateful things in the name of Christianity? When did politics become religion? All of these hateful, ignorant, close-minded people running for President make me sick! I am not an atheist, I do believe in God and religion, but I don't think I serve the same God that Rick Perry or Michelle Bachmann serve. Can't be. The God I know is kind, accepting, and concerned with the bigger picture. All of these crazy conservatives who are quick to throw Christianity in people's faces are the same people who don't want to help the poor, could care less about the earth, and see people in hieracrchies. They are so concerned about who people love and marry, and don't think twice about compassion, kindness, and understanding of all people. Why would God want you to spew venom and curses on his children? He wants all people on this earth to be brothers and sisters. We are all from the same source, made of the same materials. However, these conservatives think that it is ok to tell the LGBT community that they are not worthy, that they are not human, and that they do not deserve anything that this "land of tolerance and peace" has to offer, but they definitely want these same people to fight for the country, pay taxes to the government, and support their policies. These politicians look down on gay/black/different people and we all laugh and say "yeah they must be the cause of the depravity in this world" when in fact, hatred and ignorance is the cause of all the bad things in this world. If we look back, this same type of anger and hatred was used against Native Americans, the Chinese, African Americans, and has now progressed to immigrants and people of middle-eastern descent (Not to say that any of this is new for any minority, nor has it stopped for any partcular group). It is sad to watch the way they can have ads on TV about how much they hate people and claim that there has been an "attack" on their beloved christianity. To quote a cliche, but would Jesus do that? These politicians are not showing anyone why people should like and hold Christians in high regard. If anything, they make people despise them, including a crazy-christian like me!
