Sometimes you just have to think for yourself, knowhutimean?

Fox News host Ainsley Earhardt wondered this week if the best way to deal with the 2016 presidential race was to “pray about it and God will pick the right candidate.”…. On Tuesday’s edition of Fox & Friends, host Steve Doocy asked The View host Candace Cameron Bure what it would take to unite Republicans behind one candidate. “I don’t know what it’s going to take,” Bure admitted. “But I’m an American and I hold conservative values, and I think at the end of the day, I realize I put my faith in Jesus Christ, not in any one person.”…. She added: “And whoever becomes our candidate, our nominee and eventually our president, I will pray for them and support that they make the best decisions for our country.”…. “I don’t know who I’m going to vote for at this point,” she insisted. “But I will pray about the decision of who I’ll vote for.”

This might be the perfect example of religion being used as a crutch by someone who isn’t comfortable taking responsibility for their own life and decisions. When you’re not certain about something and don’t know what to do, why not turn it over to an invisible concept and make it responsible for telling you what to do? When you don’t have the time, energy, or inclination to do the heavy lifting of thinking for yourself, just turn it over to God and wait for Him to tell you what to do, eh?

While I’m not unappreciative of the power that religious faith holds for some, I do bristle at the idea of ceding responsibility to an unseen Supreme Being who will offer guidance on life decisions. If you need your God to tell you which Presidential candidate to vote for, I suggest you stay home on Election Day…because you clearly lack the wherewithal to evaluate the available information and make your own decision.

Don’t you think that God, if She in fact exists, has bigger fish to fry than worry about politics? Unless, of course, you believe God’s a Republican…in which case you already know which candidate the Almighty will instruct you to cast your vote for.

God wants you to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
