post-script for thinks-giving

there is something i must say. my political reaction via blog entry a few days ago was only triggered by my holiday experience. the actual people i visited are fine thinkers and take time to educate themselves.


that's really all. i just get super-sensitive when christian media sources that imply that "republican" and "christian" are interchangeable words. god is not republican. good heavens, god is not even american!


it makes me think of a song by justin mcroberts. the lyrics are:
i do not support your candidate/ i do not support your war/ i am not the spirit in your new movement/ i am the lord your god.

we are made in god's image, not he in ours. i don't claim to know very much. but it seems that the more i learn, the less certain i am that i know anything at all. i hesitate to make sweeping statements or definitive claims because i am almost certain to be missing part of the picture.

i suppose i just want to listen. I'm often surprised at what i hear.

Do not weep; do not wax indignant. Understand. -Baruch Spinoza
