Christian Conservative Right, would you like to get back in the game? Maybe win a few elections? Have some significant influence over frail humans? Then you need to change your mindset. The recent presidential election shows us that most Americans are tired of fear, intimidation, and most of all, anger. We don’t want it anymore. It is destructive, and ultimately self-defeating. In other words, it is a waste of time, and time is what we are beginning to run out of.

Molly next door is thinking of getting an abortion. Guess what, God doesn’t care. Get over it. GOD DOESN”T CARE! Such thinking is full of human conceit and a mindset that suggests HE is up there watching every little move you, or any of us make. And further more, if we don’t follow all these “rules” that we seem to make up on his/her behalf, that we will somehow get struck down by and angry God and surely go to the fiery depths of hell. Sorry, not true. Such thinking is relegated to human thought, not something that fits well with a supreme force. If an abortion will ultimately help Molly reach her personal spiritual actualization, then so be it.

Why are you beginning to lose elections? Well, for one, the Republican “core” that politicians seem to keep bowing to, are changing demographically and philosophically. The ones that adhere to a ferocious damning God are dying off, and younger, more enlightened individuals are taking their place. Have you noticed that people describe themselves these days a “spiritual”, as opposed to “religious”? Why do you think that is? Old fashion religion is fundamentally judgmental and damning, and fraught with so many “rules” its hard to keep track off. Religion says “do it my way (if you can figure out what that is)….. or else!”. Spirituality suggests an inner voice within each of us. It is our individual “guiding light”. No more dictates from various “religious leaders” telling us what is right or wrong, it is our OWN voice, our own dictates that must be followed in order for us to gain spiritual enlightenment (one soul at a time).
