Oh No He Didn't!

I made no secret in the last Presidential campaign that I am NOT a fan of John Edwards. Not. One. Bit.

And now, so early in the "race" he's managed to piss me off again. Seriously, the man is like nails on a chalk board for me.

I see an article with the title "Edwards: Jesus Would Be 'Appalled' " and I just saw red.

I don't have a problem with his religion. I firmly believe we should ALL have something that we believe in, some spiritual side to ourselves. I don't even have a problem with him running based on his religious beliefs. I actually admire anyone who is so grounded in their faith that they have no problem "walking the walk".

But this bit of him telling me that Jesus would be appalled by the behavior of these United States! Him telling me that we are selfish! THAT I have a problem with.

We all have our beliefs and I truly feel we should stand by them - HOWEVER do NOT try and force your beliefs off on me. If you are not an ordained Minister, Pastor or Priest DO NOT stand there and preach to me. I have a Bible. I know how to read it.

Politics and religion do NOT mix. Oh, I want a faithful person running this country. But I do NOT want a preacher in that seat. Period.

Maybe that doesn't make sense, maybe my dislike of the man has made me somewhat irrational but I really don't care. It is what it is, and if I have to spend the next almost two years listening to that man preach I'll pull my hair out.

A podium does not automatically make a pulpit.
