This editorial has been printed in my local newspapers two days in row (it is in local newspaper again this morning) and recently recieved the highest rating from different editors and many thousands of letters from over all in America to praise him. Only 15 years old... not even old enough to vote yet he already see the 'problem' in America.
Editor posted Clippers fan's email in that editoral but I removed it because I know some certain party will send the hatred emails, he surely does not need that kind of immature.Dear Editor,
I do not understand why republicans and christians were spreading the words that Kerry and liberals are evil because they support abortion and gay marriage. What I learned from the bible with my mother's help about Jesus is that he, Jesus, told his followers that we are not allowed to impose our beliefs on anyone. Nor discriminate against anyone. Jesus was a liberal and the Roman empire decided to eradicate him because he was stirring up a few cities and inciting revolt in the area with his ideals of social equality, and love and brotherhood. Gays or not, we are equal in our God's eyes. So why are christians and republicans trying to impose their beliefs on gays and ban gay marriage and abortion? A hypocritical judgment is judging something for something of which you are also guilty of - Like telling me to not judge when you are judging me.
With a bible in my lap, I am looking at Matthew chapter 7:1-2, "Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get."
When I tried to show the chapters and verses to different christians or republicans at church about Jesus and his Words and they were rudely shouting at me and also was implied that I don't know anything.
The bible also state that no man has any right to define what is right and wrong - ONLY God! And those who take God's name in vain and those who curse their neighbors will be cursed by God!
For example, Bush claimed, "God wants me to run for President." According to LA Times and NBC, Gen Boykin claimed that the majority of americans did not vote for him. He's in the White House because God put him there for a time such as this!
Editor, I finally came to that conclusion that they, republicans and christians are blind due to their incomprehensions and perhaps raging hatred. Their blindly incomprehension will hasten destruction on themselves. Jesus went through the horrible situation in Rome, his own people crucified him.
Does it mean that we liberals are next by these incomprehensible people to crucify for following Jesus and his liberalism? The answer is undeniably YES. That's why my mom decide to buy one or two guns for us to protect ourselves from these insanity people who blinded by their hatred. Shocking, is it?
Regards,
15 years old boy and Clippers fan
