Writing for Change

I sit here, trying to determine something fantastic to write that will capture the attention of people across the nation and the world (and myself for that matter) and still…I come up dryer than a piece of toast. I have knowledge of stupid random facts that I used to amuse people with while growing up (did you know that when intoxicated an ant will always fall on its right side? How people know that…I really don’t know…but I think its amusing). I also have a (I think) pretty good grasp on politics (lets hope, I have a degree in political science for crying out loud. If I don’t at least have a general grasp on it, I think we have a different issue on our hands). I also have a deep passion for Christ and my faith in Jesus and delving into scripture which I love to try to do at times and every once in a while think I do a decent job at relaying information in a fashion that is relatable and adaptable for people of different walks (that’s God doing it at those times, not me). Of course I have my passions on agriculture (my daddy is a farmer, I can’t help myself) which lends itself to my having very adamant feelings about immigration (and the absolute NECESSITY of it and the stupidity of people who say that “they” are taking away “American jobs”…please, Americans aren’t doing the jobs, thats why immigrants are able to get the work in the first place and if your don’t know anything about how they are hired, paid-and they are paying taxes too so don’t even give me any of that nonsense-, basically hat I am saying is if you don’t have all of the information, don’t talk more than you should because you’ll just sound stupid…immigrants keep American farmers, hotels, restaurants, ect. in business because AMERICANS won’t do the dirty work instead they complain and expect hand outs from the government)<–Yes it is a sensitive subject. My passions also are about marriage and about family. About kids being subjected to a culture that parents don’t have a choice in but when they try to fight it, the liberal society claims that they have a RIGHT to express themselves, that it is their freedom. Well what about MY freedoms? What about MY rights? These are the things that I care about and that I have a passion for. These are the things that I want to change and make clear. I live in a country that was founded on FREEDOM OF RELIGION NEVER FREEDOM FROM RELIGION so my CHRIST is allowed just as much if no more so than your gods that you place so high (that includes money, people…THINGS ARE IDOLS). I live in a country where separation of church in state STILL DOES NOT EXIST IN THE CONSTITUTION (if you don’t believe me, read it for yourself, it came from a letter written to a CHURCH concerned about the state getting involved in their religious business and it wasn’t introduced into American law until 1940’s–do your history if you want to make those arguments…that one is not founded on what the country’s founders intended and there is written proof). I live in a country that I still have a hope that I can make a difference until the day come that my Savior Jesus Christ comes and takes me home but until that day I will continue to sit here and try to determine what it is that I can write that will make an impact. I will work on changing the world, even if in the end I am only able to change one life.

  1. No, we need freedom from religion too, otherwise you and your kind will force anyone they can to live with your particular interpretation of the Bible regardless of whether or not they believe in it.

    Worship Jesus, that’s fine, but when you tell people they have to live a certain way to accommodate YOUR beliefs (i.e. call homosexuality a sin all you want, but if someone wants to live such a lifestyle it’s as much their right and choice as yours to spout off about Jesus) you’re crossing the line.

    And yes, separation of church and state isn’t in the constitution proper but it’s still an important ideal that shouldn’t be discarded. If you’d like to live in a dogmatic theocracy, feel free to move to Iraq.

    Seriously, the Religious Right runs everything nowadays, I’m not sure where you’re getting off complaining that Christians are some kind of persecuted minority!

  2. me and my kind…wow. alright. If you care to attack me in such a way thats fine, I don’t really understand why you are angry at me though. I never claimed to be a persecuted minority though Christians are being persecuted throughout the world and killed in many places for saying much less than what I said. Before you attack what I am saying about separation of church and state please read a little about the history of it rather than what the ACLU tells you (there is a little difference between the two). And until you have been a soldier or have a family member how has been through Iraq I would suggest you keep comments like that to yourself because you don’t actually know what you are talking about. But thank you for confirming my reserve to remain solid for what I believe and what I am fighting for. I will be praying for you. God bless Kimchi.
