GOD MUST BE SAD

SHOULD GOD BE USED TO GET VOTES?
The disgusting season of political pandering has begun.  Candidates are practicing their spin (PC for lies) to convince voters that they have the solutions for solving all our problems, both real and imagined.  I keep thinking this whole process must make God sad indeed.



LET THE PANDERING BEGIN!
It has become expected that each political candidate will make obligatory proclamations of their faith.  Rather ironic when so many go out of their way to emphasize the mythical separation of church and state. Never the less, all political candidates, left or right, seem to find God in some way during their campaigns.  Many after obtaining political office seem to go out of their way to avoid or even actively push God out of the picture.  So, does God think a little political "spin" to gain political office is OK?  Does massaging the truth hurt anything to get your way?  After all everybody does it and it almost expected, right? What about trust! It's quite clear, "If you obey the Lord, you will always know the right thing to say.  But no one will trust you if you tell lies."
Proverbs 10:32 (CEV) Unfortunately, it would seem few of our political candidates, be it Presidential, Congressional on down to the local government level are familiar with this verse. The truth warping and questionable professions of faith are no less offensive after they gain the office the seek.


GENUINE FAITH IS NEEDED NOW MORE THAN EVER.
We are in a time in our history when it is becoming more obvious every day that our federal government is broken beyond repair.  Nothing could illustrate this more than the current debate over the massive deficit.  There has never been more disgusting display of politics before people in our history.  Common sense has been pushed aside and the lust  for power and concern for saving political positions is the primary goal, not the right thing to do.  So, how's that separation of church and state working for ya?  I can't help but feel the current display of hate, weasel wording, false accusations and anything goes to get your parties way with total disregard for what is best for our country must make God sad.
