and so I was watching excerpts from a mccain palin rally, and the things that the crowd was saying were terrifying, and I wonder how these people can call themselves religious. I realize the how easy it is to whip a crowd into a foolish frenzy, but still it amazes me that these people, whom I assume would predominately describe themselves as christians, if not moralists, would find it ok to call for the murder of someone else. and that's not to say that the other side doesn't have crazies of it's own. It surely does. but my wonder is why these people, the bits of the mob (and by this I mean the entirety of those claiming to be of a moral religion) find it so hard to act in a righteous fashion. Why are christians so afraid of acting like christ? Of all these dogma's that I've experienced in my life, of all the views on the mystery of all this, they all seem a perversion of the one true religion, the one that is so much brighter than these forced complications. and it's only a few words long...and it is far prettier, and given the power i would sear it into the sky and tattoo it under the eyelids of every creature on this plane.
