The whole individual religious affiliation in politics thing kind of cracks me up. I mean just try putting a nativity scene on public land or try and throw a Christmas party, and just wait for the law suits aiming maintain the separation of Church and State. But run for public office, any office, and the topic of personal religious beliefs is paramount.
I think its important to have a belief in Faith, but its more important to be tolerant of an individual's choice of religion. After all, this country was founded by people fleeing from religious persecution. As U.S. Citizens, we all have the Constitutional RIGHT to practice and believe the religion of our choice free from persecution.
So whether Mormon, Catholic, Jew, Muslim, Buddhist, Atheist, or whatever religion you claim, or deny, we all have to live together, in Peace and Harmony, and we should consider it an honor to meet, know, appreciate, and respect as many people of diverse backgrounds and faiths as possible.
You don't have to agree with anyone. You don't have to believe what I believe. You don't have to accept what I believe. How about this, just tolerate my beliefs, and I'll tolerate your beliefs, and we'll get along just fine. I'm sure if we agree to disagree on religion, we can still believe in each other and honestly care for each other without hurting each other.
That's it man! Pretty simple!
Campy Out!
