I had truly hoped that we were beyond that but sadly, bigotry is alive and well among certain ethnic and religious groups. The God I believe in doesn't discriminate in His love for us. I am having a hard time with Jesus' admonition to "love one another as I have loved you."<BR/><BR/>I keep reminding myself that I can love them without liking these so-called Christians.Kay Dennisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02646717192332313215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11093162.post-54979582269454535632008-10-29T09:12:00.000-07:002008-10-29T09:12:00.000-07:00Hear, hear to all the comments.

I hope the new generation will end this despicable hatred once and for all, but I fear that racist parents have indoctrinated enough children that it will not disappear for another generation.Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18373134676852496647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11093162.post-34789833705714091142008-10-29T06:18:00.000-07:002008-10-29T06:18:00.000-07:00I've been predicting to my friends for weeks that ...I've been predicting to my friends for weeks that Georgia is going to be the shocker of the election next Tuesday. Early voting numbers certainly seem to support the fact that voters are not allowing the voter ID laws in GA to hinder them too much. I hope. I know it's only anecdotal.<BR/><BR/>If Georgia goes for Obama, I think it would be a major signal to the country that the crap we've put up with for the past 8 years, and 20 of the last 28, is no longer what America wants. Hatred and bigotry are hopefully on life support right now and maybe we can pull the plug next Tuesday.<BR/><BR/>I hope.Damonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16393751713576765589noreply@blogger.com
