When it comes to politics and religion, people will believe what they want to believe from whatever biased source they choose to read and hear, regardless of logic, rational thought, and obvious truth. In politics and religion there is no truth, but only spin. Politics and religion are fueled with passion, anger, ego, and bravado. Too often people use politics and religion to judge others, when the real purpose of both is to set a standard to judge yourself and what sort of person you really are. People treat politics and religion as a sport. They want their "favorite team" to win at all costs, even if the costs are truth and virtue. We are perfectly willing to deny the obvious truths, or believe the obvious lies if it furthers our team. And I have to say that I believe that too much money has ruined both politics and religion.

Frankly, I hope the subsequent generations, including my two daughters, view both politics and religion with more sanity, civility, and intelligence than I see our generation exhibit.
