Religion & Politics – How do you view it?

Religion and politics are two of the most important aspects of life that touch everyone no matter what class or accomplishments they may have managed to attain in their lives.

This subject shouldn't be taken lightly and must be looked upon through the eyes of your fellow man so that you may walk in his shoes, if only for a few brief strides that translate into but weeks, so you and I will know and understand those that affect our lives in an ongoing and yet surreptitious fashion.

Evolutionists, Darwinists, and others of a similar notion have yet to see what is so clearly in front of them. They cannot understand that no matter how hard we humans have searched the seemingly infinite universe we cannot find any planet like our own that sustains not just life but complex living beings and plant life of all types.

Those who do not believe in God must surely look to the Sun and ask how it got there and who tells it when and where to rise in the morning. They must ask themselves how oceans stop along our coasts and do not come forth and drown each of us unto our own destiny.

It is easy to say that we came from single celled organisms that somehow and inexplicably came to be from some massive bang that itself is unexplained. It is the exact reason why the word FAITH exists in ALL vocabularies throughout the world because it is much harder to not only have such a thing but to truly live it.

The hard part comes down to understanding the difference between why one would choose to be Jewish, Muslim, Shinto, or any other form of religion that believes there are one or more gods in existence and determine which tale of old is in the right and is the true explanation to who we are and where we come from.

I cannot answer this question for you or even for myself and I doubt that when we walk away from this class we will have the answer. But what I can tell you is that there is a moment in your life when you will come to meet that end where all questions will be answered for you and I. It will be at that moment, when we take our last breath, that we will know if we have chosen the right tale to believe in and whether or not we lived our lives in a way that our Maker will be proud of.
