Bumper sticker politics.

Original post date, Wednesday, February 4, 2009

I saw a Bumper sticker once, which read "The last time religion and politics mixed, people were burned at the stake."

I actually took offense at this trivialization.

This statement really is problematic in several ways! first of all, the last time "Religion" or a strong belief in morality and the hereafter, became involved in Politics a new country was born.
Namely the United states of America.

The Founding fathers were all devout in their beliefs and the statements that they made, the papers they wrote and the lives they lived strongly support this.

One of the founding fathers even wrote that " For a democracy, such as the one we are attempting, to succeed Faith in God MUST be a part of it."

And according to MY studies of History, the last time people were burned at the stake "politics" didn't enter into consideration, it wasn't about politics it was about Hate and fear.

The funny thing is this Bumper sticker is encouraging the same fear and hate that caused people to be burned at the stake to begin with.

I think we need to think before we say things that are so wrong. Let’s Get it right people.
