Politicians' Infidelities

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

Disturbing the peace is an offense that can land us in jail. So why do we put up with those who promote war?

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

Do you mind if I call you God? Or Goddess?
How about Allah? Krishna? Buddha? Father? Mother? Mystery?
Ground of all being? Yahweh? Great Spirit? Source?

No, you don’t? Just call you.
Okay.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“The fortune-teller said that in a former life I was an island princess sacrificed to the goddess Makiri.”

[Something about that does not sound authentically Jesus…]

D. Blog: Politicians and their Infidelities

Why am I so little surprised when politicians break their marriage vows?

I suppose it’s because so many of them break the vows they make to the public. The main one being the vow to serve the interests of the people who elect them. (I distinguish between those who elect them and those who buy their loyalty.)
