Long ago, I made a conscious choice to remain apolitical in or on any public forum. It keeps me out of pointless arguments that just amount to me saying “I’m right and you’re wrong” – a surefire phrase to keep you at odds.

Like you, I have opinions but I’m not castigating you for having ones different from mine.

Let’s pretend that you don’t believe in God. Do you think there is any argument you can make that is going to win over a God fearing person to your side?

I respect that people have different opinions about who they’re going to support and I applaud their right to say so publicly, no matter how off base I think they are.

When we insist our opinions are dogma, we only reach the ears of the already converted.

The political opinions that I completely ignore come from people who are too lazy or too impressionable to vet the information they put out for public consumption. I can’t tell you the number of social media postings I’ve seen from all sides of the political spectrum that not only strain credulity, but crush it like a bug.

It would be too easy to pejoratively call these people “stupid,” but they’re not. Misinformed and easily led by information that panders to their bias would be a more accurate description.

When it comes to politics, I’m like the brothers who play on opposing sports teams. “Bro, I hope you win every game, except the one you play against me.”

I hope your candidates win except in the cases where they oppose mine, but you won’t see me trying to convince you that you’re wrong through the grapevine.

All the best,

John
