G-Pop is a wee bit concerned.
His children are once again choosing up sides, sniffing out the dogma of their favorite political party and barking out beliefs.
Issue by issue, debates are offering a collage of opinions with no real respect for the central issue that should permeate the hearts of all humanity:
Are we killing people?
Nothing progresses until we stop killing:
- No financial campaign is worthwhile if there’s a death toll.
- No honoring of traditions or regaling of the Constitution is noble if we’re filling up body bags.
- The central issue of the human race is learning how to talk to one another instead of pulling a knife, citing some righteous motivation.
For 16 years, two Presidents from two different parties have ruled and reigned in this country.
Even though G-Pop is sure that each one could present a resume of his efforts, in the long run, one of these men began a sermon of death and the other has trailed behind with his own chorus of “amens.”
President Bush and President Obama have both pursued a fruitless campaign of irreconcilable mayhem in the Middle East, which has paralyzed this country with the preoccupation that we are a superior military power–as we continue to lose battles. Not since World War II has the United States been part of a full-fledged victory through military conflict.
So we must cease to believe that the Republicans are good because they stand for God and the Democrats are evil because they allow for atheism. And we also must realize that merely taking stands on social issues or giving health care to the masses is of little use if we’re taking the children of the poor and placing them in harm’s way in a foreign land.
G-Pop will tell you why he believes in Jesus: Jesus angers both Republicans and Democrats.
In one moment, Jesus forgives a woman caught in adultery, infuriating the right.
In the next moment, he refuses to give money to the poor, insisting that it’s a never-ending process which should be pursued with wisdom rather than wild abandon, causing every liberal to object tearfully.
Jesus had one central theme: “I have not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.”
So the same Jesus who believed that “those who live by the gun will die by the gun” also contends that children are sacred and reflect the beauty of heaven.
Just as little ones should not be killed at their elementary schools, we should also find a way not to kill them in the womb.
Obviously, this approach pisses off both campaigns.
So G-Pop challenges his children to escape the futility of joining a side to instead pursue a purpose:
1. Is there any way to consider all the facts before we start following the fad?
2. Is there any way to favor one side in this particular case without offending the other permanently?
3. Can we move forward without rejecting what we know is true for the human family?
There is only one issue in the next presidential campaign: what is the best way to stop killing?
As long as we’re killing, no matter how noble we may feel our mission, we have become the enemy of the One who created us.
