FAITH

Some people feel that they can't bring themselves to vote for Obama, because they can't vote on "blind faith." They feel like he can really do something, and feel the emotion that is evoked in themselves every time he speaks, but can't bring themselves to "take that risk." They don't want to feel guilty or responsible for voting for a candidate that might make the country worse. They don't want to be made to feel accountable. I say, how can a man with that much passion and love for a people lead us wrong? Are we not willing to work together with someone who sees the greatest overall picture before him and in reach, but is only asking for our patience and help to get there?

I say... if you are a Christian, what type of faith do you have in your Lord God? It isn't a concrete faith, you haven't seen your Lord and Savior. You haven't seen evidence of His wonderous miracles and sacrifices. You are basing all of your beliefs on... "blind faith."

So if you are using the excuse that you can't place a vote for Barack Obama based on a blind faith of the man, then you are a hypocrite in the worst way! I am not comparing Obama to any Christ figure, but am making my case in regards to faith. I am right. There is no way to tell if Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. We read it from a book that we hope to be accurate, from findings that we hope to be accurate. Reality is, is that we are not sure and we are going by faith in what we've been told and what we have been inspired by.

Many of us are experiencing something in this nation right now. It is moving us emotionally and it is a very strong positive energy which is resonating within our souls, which is bringing us out of our comfort zone, bringing us to do unlikely things. We feel something extraordinary and special and God gives us instincts to survive. We are so sophisticated in this day and age that we forget that we are connected to everything around us, we are connected to each other. If not, we wouldn't be able to sympathize, empathize, feel the pain of others, be moved to tears. Some of us no longer trust our instincts and allow brainwashing and dictatorship control how we think and determine how we should feel about our lives and certain situations. Let's get back to our origins, where we completely used our senses and emotions lead us through life. We are taught to be fearful and our resistance to our human nature is what gets us into the trouble and wars that we are now in! Ego and supremacist entitlement feelings have been nurtured and evolved, it is not a natural part of us... especially according to the word of God.

I have faith in Barack Obama because I am intuned to my emotions and am intuned with other people and listen with my heart instead of an anylitical mind. We are taught to believe in God... a Higher Power, but are taught to lead a fearful and pessimistic life and reject "blind faith!" I say that we examine that hypocracy and begin to think and feel for ourselves!
