I don't understand anybody who equates God with country, or guns.     There is zero evidence that Jesus/God could care, even an iota. about your nationality or political party.    I find that incredibly offense and driven by human arrogance.  *

*Try to imagine the vision of an eternal being.   When looking at the earth, would they care in the least about political or social boundaries?  Do the word's 'the meek shall inherit the earth' have any hint of a political rally, or the urge for power in the political world?  Human power doesn't mean a thing to an eternal being. 

This stuff is Me, I have no religious authority, although I certainly have many friends who agree with most of what I've said.

If you are curious about my direction, I use Fr. Richard Rohr for my meditative side and you can google that name.  There are events in my life that defy language to explain, even to me and I love words!

Thanks for the conversation Peter, I'll keep an eye out for your name.
