Jimmy Carter is what a real Christian looks like…

Well…with the news this afternoon that Jimmy Carter went home from the hospital and is entering hospice care today, I just wanted to do a short one about his life…now you know I am an atheist who doesn’t hate religion…I hate the things people do in the name of religion…but if you want to see what a real Christian looks like, just look at the life of President Carter…while in office he never attacked anyone, never said anything bad about anything, brokered peace in the Mideast and tried his best to guide the country but had the unfortunate luck of 14% inflation and a repub party who had begun the slide into lies and slander…and with Carter being an honorable person, he couldn’t use those tactics and lost the election to Reagan who put the country on the path to where we are now…after he left office he threw himself along with Rosalyn into doing good works around the world and made Habitat for Humanity the force that it is today….that is what I remember of christians from when I was young…they really did do good work and stayed out of politics and hate….I know that maybe a little bit of wearing rose colored glasses but the christians I knew weren’t nazis like many of them are now…so, maybe this would be a good time for some of those folks to reflect on their actions and re-discover the true meaning of the god they purport to follow…
