1. The thing is, politics are based on reason rather than religion. It's simply not fair if I decided to rob a bank. It doesn't belong to me. I didn't work for the money there. Someone else did. 2. If the Bible said it was okay for me to rob a bank, should it be that everyone in this boiling pot of a country just let me do it? 3. And why is it okay for Christianity to govern the United States? Why can't it be Buddhism? Why does it have to be what you want even if it's not fair?
It's bothering me, seeing people* unable to think for themselves. 4. People who let their parents think for them, who let their parents' political parties think for them, who let the Bible think for them. My family is pretty much entirely pro-choice, no questions asked. Me, I'm not so certain. For me it's a situational issue. That's just one example.
*Plural, as I know a huge number of people like this.
1. And remind me what peoples' reason is based on, if not their religous beliefs? And before you say "I'm not religous, I'm and atheist," yes! Atheism is a religion and a faith like all the others. Instead of worshipping a god, you worship your own intelligence.
2. If the Bible said it was okay, there would likely be no earthly law against it today.
3. Because Buddhism, Hinduism, and the like have been proven to run a country's economy
into the ground. Look at India, for example.
4. I will say this again: I agree with and obey them.
Why does that mean I let them think for me? Because I'm not a non-conformist? But, now that I think about it, God being the omniscient being he is, he is always going to know what's best; I'd love to have him think for me.
