OK, here we go my political commentary for the year. I vote pro-humanity. I see this as the platform or policy that God would choose. As we read the Bible we have the creation narrative and the entering of sin into the world in the first few chapters of Genesis. The rest of the Bible is about a restoration process between God and man. I know one person who dubbed it "Project Humanity."
If you read my Facebook page you will see that I am apathetic towards politics. This year has been a really drain on me because of the flood of negative campaigning going on. I want to know what a candidate is going to do rather than what another candidate may or may not have done.
So what is the pro-humanity platform? I wish I had all the details. We need to protect human life, human dignity, and human rights. Our laws, policies, and actions must value humanity. This is not a job only for government. Our communities of faith must be involved. Local non-profits also play a role. Finally, you and I must do our part.
As a Christ-follower I try and live our Matthew 22 by loving God with all I am and loving my neighbor. The first is my private faith and the second is my public expression of my private faith.
To vote pro-humanity does not begin and end on November 4th. To be part of the pro-humanity part is to vote via your actions everyday. Get involved, mentor a child, volunteer with a non-profit, donate your money to a worthy cause, write you elected officials, fulfill the command to love God and love your neighbor.
