No hell for me.

No doubt, I'm held in low esteem by some Republicans and Christians. Because I'm not a Republican nor a Christian. Instead, I'm a political liberal who'd rather me a socialist or a communist than a Republican or Democrat. And though I was raised a Christian and graduated from a Christian college and served as a deacon in a Christian church, I've seen a new kind of light. As a free-thinker and freelance monotheist. I steer clear of organized religions. And I also try to ignore American politics. For the sake of my sanity. Because Republicans, in particular, happen to be corrupt and close-minded. For the most part, that is. There may be an open-minded Republican, but I suspect he/she has been drummed out of the party. Republicans march in lock-step. Like robots. Amazing how often they vote unanimously. In unison. Reminds me a little bit of the unswerving, unquestioning allegiance Nazis pledged to their leader. A very dangerous thing. Difficult for me to fathom. Anyway, some ultra conservative Christians and ultra conservative Republicans think of me as immoral and evil and headed straight to hell. But that doesn't faze me. Because I'm moral, a nice guy and headed to Paradise. No hell for me. --Jim Broede
