What's going on with me is within me, and it's disconcerting for me to be so effected by the outcome of an election. I'm wrestling with it, and as with everything, it all has to do with me, not you or my other friends who voted for Obama. All I know is it's going to take some time, but it certainly has rocked my world in completely unexpected and surprising ways, and I don't feel like I have much control over how it has effected me. In some ways, I'm standing outside of myself, trying to view what's going on within me as dispassionately as possible and I'm having a hard time making heads or tails of it, and I think it's going to take me some time before I can embrace my friends like I once did. There's a barrier that's been erected, and I suspect it's been erected by me, unconsciously, but it's there, nonetheless, and that's what I have to deal with.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11232343536274836721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21938110.post-52008115058195716742008-11-15T11:45:00.000-05:002008-11-15T11:45:00.000-05:00I hear you Dan.It is really frustrating when other...I hear you Dan.<BR/>It is really frustrating when other well meaning Christians give all life issues the same weight. A war that can be debated as being just or unjust does not hold equal weight to the slaughter of the unborn. The Catholic Church even says that there is such thing as a just war. The death penalty is not equal to the slaughter of unborn. No other life issue comes close to the importance of fighting for the rights of unborn humans. I would like to challenge any Christian who disagrees with me to spend some time praying outside of an abortion clinic during business hours. If our president elect was openly supportive to the killing of Jews or Asians then these liberal Christians would be outraged and by no means would be able to support him. Why does thinking get so cloudy when the human is not yet born. Do these liberal Christians not really understand that the unborn are humans...innocent humans?<BR/><BR/>I'm with you Dan, and I understand why it hurts so much to listen to dear friends be so wrong on this issue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
