The future of
every country ... is a hierocracy. But we're a FAR cry from that, in even the most
"developed" of countries.
Mob rules, which is what most people seem to have dumbed democracy down to, is not what is desired. But so long as the
most conservative elements of our society vote in the most
unfit individuals to lead us into darkness ...
there will be those people OF CONSCIENCE who object. Thus, I'd vote for almost ANY woman, over a male candidate (for US Presidency at least), ANY day!
Am I being biased? YOU BET. I'd vote for
almost ANY liberal, or Democrat, over the alternative,
ANY day. Is that a bias? YOU BET. And I'd vote for a diehard
Humanist, who believed in equal rights, was pro-abortion (or
right to choose), and
emphasized the right to Freedom of Religion
... vs. one who espoused Christian doctrine as the "one truth path" - again, ANY day. Is
that a bias? YOU BET.
And you know what? If Christ could whisper it in your ear, I believe He'd make the SAME VOTE,
ANY DAY. It's about progress ... and when it comes to preservation of values, there has to be
something to preserve.
Yes, our American slave-owning, Freemason forefathers might have been a bit hypocritical ... and certainly they were Christian
deists, many of them. But based on what I know about a good number of them, I DO believe there was something there worth preserving. Currently, there's a lot of lip service, arse-wiping with the US Flag, and worse
hypocrisy than ANY generation has seen since Washington's day.
Indeed,
IF we ever had a true
Christian candidate for office of US President ... I'd be
honored to give her my vote. I pray - that that day may
yet come in our lifetime.
Namaskar,
andrew
