Rush to Hatred

I agree. Much of the people where I live are like this. People they don’t like they don’t have anything nice to say. When I try to remind them to pray for these people, they look at me as those I have lost my mind.

Great post, JoJo. I didn’t see those negative comments, and it really makes me sad that that is the state that some people find themselves in.
I agree. Whether I agree with someone or not (politically or otherwise) I do not wish them harm.
Thanks for sharing.

Sadly, our culture — especially in the political realm — has devolved into exhibiting these facist behaviors. We as a society have lost the ability to “agree to disagree.”

I whole heartedly agree. There are many opportunities to poke fun at those in whom we do not believe. In fact, I saw a Chia version of someone I do not support politically. It was meant to honor him but I was tempted to make a huge joke about it. It would have been disrespectful and distasteful, so I refrained. It seems to me that people have lost empathy for others and harden their hearts. This produces some dangerous issues, like people who kill abortionists or the like. The Bible tells us that when we point the finger that we need to be careful that we are doing it in a restorative fashion, lest we also be condemned by the same sense of pride. Anyway….Nice post.

I read somewhere along these lines awhile back. The article, then referenced the relationship of the Late President Reagan and his political arch-nemisis Tip O’Neal. They were at opposing sides almost always in the ‘business of politics’ yet could put it aside and be seen laughing over a drink. I believe they considered themselves friends of the other. I am vehemently opposed for what I perceive as freedoms being taken away and am vocal in doing so. I also know I am to pray for this man and others in government, they need Jesus as much, if not more, than John Q. Public. However, to ever, ever wish something ill upon these men and women is inexcusable.
