Politics

Ahh politics. Whenever my friends start talking politics, i usually back away from the conversation and just listen. I might add a comment here and there, but i generally stay out of it. Why? most of the time i say it's because politics bore me. This is part of the truth, but not all of it. Politics seem to cause disagreement, trouble, and harsh feelings wherever they go. In my mind, no one - neither liberal nor conservative - seems to be completely right or completely wrong. Then again, I dont really know the full story on either. So my friends ask: are you a democrat or republican? Once again, im not sure because i dont know everything. So what do you do when you need information? you ask of course! But who to ask? Whomever i would choose would give a biased answer in favor of who they think is right. So do i answer the question based on a guess of who's for what? No. definately not. I very much do not like to guess and be proved wrong- it's one of my weaknesses. So i avoid the whole thing. Cowardly? Yes, probably. Understandable? I hope so. And so here I am, caught in a web of beliefs. I know my beliefs, and I want to fight for them, but what i dont know is which side to fight for. Until i think i have the whole story, i will not pick sides. Jesus Christ alone is the one whose beliefs and ideals i will believe in without exception- not those of men who have their own intrests along for the ride, and are unsure even of themselves.
