It simply amazes me that my generation (25-35 year olds) is so easily manipulated. Many of my peers walk around figuratively blindfolded. Their hands are not tied, so they have the ability to remove the blinder, but they refuse and walk around willfully ignorant. Of course I am referring to the upcoming election. I hear so many of my peers who are going to vote for President Obama because he is the popular choice. They are still enveloped in adolescent mindsets, where one votes for the class president based on who is the most popular student at that moment. Where one stands on the issues isn't really that important, because "we shouldn't judge someone else because their viewpoints differ from our own." In fact, if you were to ask them about where Obama stands on issues, they couldn't tell you.
I guess I shouldn't be all that surprised though, since we have been brainwashed from a very young age to be tolerant and accepting of the behaviors God has condemned. The very moment we stepped foot into our kindergarten classrooms, we have been indoctrinated to never cast judgement, after all... just because someone believes differently than you do doesn't mean they are wrong and you are right. According to our public school teachers and guidance counselors, right and wrong are relative terms.
I am so thankful I was raised in a Christian home, where these teachings were constantly refuted and scrutinized. I was able to see past the agenda of the secular public school system. My perspective was greatly widened as I saw the effects of Godlessness in society blossom into a poisonous flower. So many of my peers rejected moral absolutes in favor of moral relativism and most of them lead wicked, empty, unfulfilled lives. I will not follow blindly. I will use God's Word as my moral compass. I will not be tolerant and accepting of ungodly behaviors. I will love people, but hate their sin.
True Christians, regardless of generational upbringing, should search the Scriptures and condemn ungodly political policy. People claim it is their American right to vote how they see fit, and they are right. But a true Christian will utilize this American right with wisdom and moral judgement stemming from the gleaning from God's Word. With that mindset, he cannot support abortion, same-sex marriage, gay rights, and a plethora of other immoral policies that are in direct contradiction to God's Word. I do not believe anyone who calls himself a "Chirstian" should vote for Obama and his immoral policies as mentioned above. Those who do should stop calling themselves a Christian. It gives the rest of us a bad name. It is not to say that those who vote for Obama next month are not Christians... It just says a lot about their spiritual maturity level as a Christian. They are what the Bible calls....babies of the faith, and we all know how ignorant babies are. Besides sleeping, all they can do is suck! Not exactly what our generation wants to be described as... "One who sucks."
