Religion...Adults Should Know Better

I am getting so tired of the discussion of which of the following,  Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum or Obahma, are "more" or which are  "real" Christian. I even saw Billy Graham's son on TV discussing this question.

Here's my thought:

1. The President of the USA needs to be president for all faith communities and those of no faith community.

2. Christians are not better than Muslims, Hindus or Atheists or whatever.

3. The proof is in the pudding. In other words if you are professing to be Christian for example.. it's not your saying so that makes it so. The proof is in how you show up, it's by your actions. None of the candidates are being kind, are standing in integrity, or loving their neighbour. 

4. The Dali Lama's religion is kindness. I like that. It's simple, doesn't require a church or temple and calls people to live the Golden Rule which is shared by all religions. 

How is it that the American people put up with this kind of campaigning? What makes it really intolerable for me is that the process is so very long. It really is an insult to our intelligence and terrible role modelling from those who are supposed to be leaders and represent the people.

Pic.. I truly believe when a person goes into politics they have a deep desire in their heart to make a difference. It's just that somewhere along the way they seem to loose their head.
