Dear Religious fans and Political pundits: Last week, incredibly, I got a message from a FB friend—accusing me of being a child of the devil; that if I ever wanted to go to heaven, I must surrender to Jesus Christ. Fascinating! And today, surprisingly, I got another gem of a message from another FB friend—accusing me, this time, of favoring a certain political party; that Id have neither a voice nor a vote in life if I chose the wrong party. Really? Anarchist Me? Let me get this straight.... My mother is a Republican; and my father, a Democrat. And I love them both. And they adore me, too. My parents have been married, exhaustingly happy, for over 48 years; and not once, ever, has my mom chastised my old man for being pro-choice, nor ever has my dad tried to tame my moms enthusiasm for having her ways at the gun range. Me? Well, I believe in equality ( Go = ) and I like to hunt (to eat) with my spiffy new rifle. What am I, then? Now, Religion.... This is one is tricky. See, my parents are devout church-goers; I am not. However, I support their involvement with whichever religious endeavor they fancy. No ifs or buts! They have my blessings. Why? Because it makes them happy. Period. And they, in return, respect my individual beliefs. Why? Because it works—quite well! Our lifes choices may not be perfect, and oftentimes are opposite, but our love for each other is, indeed, perfection in my eyes. And coinciding as such, lovingly, to stand by you without flinching when everything goes to hell, to me, thats a family. So, am I ever going to go heaven? I do not know. Am I going to vote Republican or Democrat? Its none of your business.
