Attention Christian Voters!

The REAL Christian candidate.

Attention Christian Voters!

I opened up the Odyssey today to write an article on third party voting but the first story on my dashboard was called "Attention Christian Voters." Being me, a Christian, I thought that somebody had finally seen that Hillary is the more Christian candidate; however, I was sadly mistaken. This article stated that Donald Trump was the Christian candidate. I was very very confused as to how she came about this conclusion. Now yes, Hillary Clinton is a Democrat and this means she advocates for Pro-Choice which most Republicans do not agree with and I see their perspectives on that, but otherwise, nothing Trump has said or done is Christian. The Golden Rule that came straight from Jesus of Nazareth is "Do unto others what you would have them do unto you." I do not think I have gone a day without seeing Donald Trump tweet a rude comment. He demeans women and there is now video evidence of him saying he sexually assaults women because his status allows him to. This is absurd and the exact reason rape is such a major issue in this country, because people in power blow it off as "locker room talk." Remaining on this topic, Donald Trump also wishes to discriminate against Muslim immigrants and use "extreme vetting" as a screening process. This is a series of questions that are basically unanswerable. They would include, "[questions about] beliefs match[ing] US values on gay rights, gender equality and religious freedoms, among others." How would these immigrants know this when many Republicans did not this even want gay marriage to be equal? This method is not loving your neighbor as yourself when these questions can all receive different answers from current US citizens. If this point alone still has you thinking Trump is more Christian than Hillary, Mrs. Clinton has literally had discussions about exact books in the Bible with her voters. She has been raised a Methodist and even discussed what the ten commandments meant to her and how her ideals align with those ideals. Clinton even said that the most important commandments to her are to "to love the Lord with all your might and to love your neighbor as yourself" Sounds exactly like what any true Christian would want as a president, at least to me. Now if for some bizarre reason you need MORE evidence that Hillary Clinton is more Christian than Donald Trump, it is the fact that Donal Trump has had three different wives. The Christian ideals are for one woman and one man to be together until "death do us part" but I guess Trump has lived three different lives. Hebrew 13:4 says, "let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous." This seems to be another way that Donald Trump has not kept up the Christian persona. He openly admitted that he pursued women a mere three months after marrying Melania. Very Christian. Right? If I have not changed your mind yet, I will give you yet another example of how Donald Trump is not Christian. Matthew 7:5 states, "you hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye." Donald Trump spent the entire second debate talking about how terrible Hillary Clinton is and how she needs to "apologize for her emails" which she has, every time he has brought it up almost; however, Trump refuses to apologize to Alicia Machado. She is the winner of Trump's first Miss America pageant who he referred to as "disgusting," "Miss Piggy," and "Mrs. Housekeeping." There is one more point I want to bring up when it comes to lying. People continuously say how Hillary lies more than Trump, yet Politifact says that in "false" statements Trump has a 99 to 27 lead on Hillary and in the "Pants on Fire" category Trump leads Clinton 49 to 6. Proverbs 12:22 states, "The LORD detests lying lips, but he delights in people who are trustworthy." Hillary does lie some, but in a statistical breakdown she is definitely more trustworthy as commander in chief. These are just a few examples, but honestly, if you are a true Christian, you know who the real Christian candidate is, it is just up to you to vote for her.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
