The triviality of politics...

Politics. Every one of us is influenced by it. And in turn, we influence it. All of the excerpts we have read in the past weeks have been about the "politics" of nations. What is right, what is wrong, and everything in between. As I think about those things, the thought of how trivial it all is constantly pops in my head. I dunno why, but it does. I think of the U.S for example. Every term a president is elected. If Democrat, he will probably raise taxes, promote tolerance and acceptance, make abortions easier to obtain, and help homosexuals to get marriage rights. Something to that effect at least. Then, if Republican, he will probably lower taxes, give more power to the people and businesses instead of the government, make abortions harder to get, ban homosexual marriage, etc etc....

Now those descriptions dont accurately describe EVERY Democrat or Republican, but its a good generalization. And think of it in those terms. Every time a president is elected, usually every two terms the power switches from democrat to republican. For example, Pres. Obama will probably make the U.S into a socialist-like nation. Then in a few terms a Republican will come along and reverse all of it.

So, how trivial is it all?

It leads me to ask myself, just because I know it willl change, does that mean that I shouldnt do what I can now to change the world for the better? To change politics for the better?

Do I have any right at all to propose Christian doctrine for public use in politics?

I dont know. I want to know. As always, writing these blogs help me sort through what I believe. And hopefully someday I will find the answers I seek.

peace and love
