I always loved going to church. Even as a little child, I loved it. The opportunity to thank a Higher Power for a good, healthy life, people who loved and cared for me. Then a message of caring for others, being kind, being generous. All basic humanity. But the last time I went, it was a political rally. I stayed after services and told the Priest: “If I want a political rally, I’ll go to one. Church is not the place for that”. His reply? “I’m sorry you feel that way”. As if I’m the problem for not wanting my faith to be politicized. I can only pray that one day the world will recover from this madness of hate, revenge, power and greed and become just basic good people, in service to one another, regardless of how we choose to worship, or love or vote.
