The probelm with today’s culture is everyone hates each other, on all sides......
People hate Sarah Palin
People hate Obama
People hate Michael Jackson
People hate Conservatives
People hate Liberals.....

I am sure GOD is just shaking his head, thinking they just can’t get it right....

The Greatest Commandment Jesus left us with, seems the hardest thing for human beings to do....

John 13:34-35 (King James Version)

A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

A couple months ago a priest gave a talk about loving one another. He said how this is a difficult commandment. WHile we may say we love everyone, we need to not just love those who love us, but also love those who would wish us dead. That is the challenge.

Pope John Paul II, and now Pope Benedict XVI teach that the individual Christian's responsibilities toward God fall in this order:

"..an authentic...theology: [is] one that puts

[1] God and the life of the spirit first,

[2] direct charitable care of others second,

[3] and only then draws consequences for a just social order."

I do not hate leftists, or Obama specifically.

I simply have no desire to live in accord with their decisions, or the unintended consequences of their decisions.
