Hate Ain’t Great

Getting trumped up with anger and personal attacks against people you disagree with isn’t the way to advance greatness in America. I don’t think that saying about your political opponent, “She can go to Hell,” will advance America’s greatness. To pump up hatred and to continually dump personal insults on your political opponent sounds like cruelty, not greatness.

I believe that a presidential candidate claiming that he has a right to personally attack his opponent is the most dangerous thing that has happened in America since the Civil War. Kindness and respect matter! We need to stand down, before it is too late!

When facts become old fashioned people flee from truth in order to find fictions and fabrications to put their faith in. I don’t want to believe or proclaim anything by hearsay or by my deceptive feelings of being “pretty sure.” As a Christ-follower I want to stand on truth, not on my feelings, desires, or opinions.

Someone who is arrogant, angry, bitter, unforgiving, vulgar, and insulting doesn’t represent Christian values! A presidential election can’t make a country great. Only a wide-spread spiritual awakening can do that!

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!

    I completely agree with you. As Christians, we are called to uphold values of kindness, respect, and truth, even in the heat of political debates. The words we use and the manner in which we engage with others should reflect the love and grace that Christ teaches us. Personal attacks and expressions of hatred only serve to divide and harm, rather than build up and unite.
