Politics and religion.

As of now we are allowed to blog about the two most hotly debated topics by most people I know. I'm actually hoping that we'll be able to keep these open for discussion, but really can't see how it'll last. I just find it ironic that they are such devisive issues, as both are supposed to make the world a better place. They almost always end up as an issue of who's right or wrong. I guess the better question is " Am I so busy trying to be right, that I'm missing the point and purpose of both?"

Though the times ahead will be rough. I firmly believe Barack Obama will take us to a better place in 4 years...

Just some food for thought, not necessarily about the institutions, but the people applying them.

Same could be said of government. The truth is that neither can ever be perfect, as long as human beings are a part of them. That's why I have really begun to "live and let live" about both topics. I'm a firm believer in standing up for what seems, to me, to be good common sense. But I realize that what is right for me, isn't right for someone who views the world in an entirely different manner. So I just stay true to myself and do my best to leave the world a better place than I got here. And remember that I'm one of the same imperfect people that both the priests and presidents are....
