I often wonder what causes such huge differences in people? Specifically I'd just like to share a few thoughts about Liberals (i.e. Progressives) and Conservatives (of which I am one). I have to admit I don't know what makes Liberals think the way they do, but I know why I, as a Conservative, think the way I do...so I'll share what I do know.
I believe that having God in my life and Christ as my Lord and Savior gives me purpose in my life. I was created by God to have fellowship with Him. I have free choice in what I do with my life, but my outlook stems from knowing that I have a Creator who loved me enough to send His Son, Jesus Christ to give His life for mine (John 3:16)
I don't know the heart of those who think differently than I about life, political issues, social issues, etc. But I know that there are many people who seem not to have a purpose in life. Human beings want to know that their life has meaning.
Take the Global Warming/Climate Change issue. There are many who seem to have latched onto this with such passion simply because they NEED something to give their life meaning. This is a poor substitute for a personal living relationship with a living God through Jesus Christ. I believe that people substitute many issues, other people, political figures, etc. for the One God who should have their devotion.
All I can do is share what I believe and pray for others. With these thoughts I did not intend to say that all Liberals are Godless or all Conservatives are Christians. I just had to get these thoughts down and share them with you. Thanks, and may God bless you!
