May I suggest a simple distinction between voters?
One group believes in a God of their own image: sitting on a throne; possessing familiar human passions... a lord who is directly involved in, even controlling, their lives.
The other contains a much larger spectrum: from people who firmly believe in a God, but one who’s beyond our ability to grasp, all the way to atheists, with countless variations in between.
This distinction has profound implications considering the unopposed groundswell of scared people who have been convinced they’re God’s personal agents.

Why Liberals Should Vote This Election {806 words}

After another couple changes by myself this incarnation weights in at 806 words:

May I suggest a simple, left v. right distinction between people... voters?
The one group believes in a God of their own image: sitting on a throne; possessing those familiar human lordly passions of jealousy, judgment, vengeance, occasionally love... a lord who is directly involved in, even controlling, our lives.
The other group, contains a much larger spectrum. Beginning with people who firmly believe in God and her/his presence, but, who also appreciate God is beyond our human ability to grasp. As for knowing God’s mind... or plan, forget about it! Can a toddler hope to understand Einstein?
From there the spectrum of perspectives follows the whole gamut of wonder and curiosity about our creation and god...
