No religion or politician can have them all

Submitted by an anonymous reader. This may seem like a simple point, but I thought it was important. Here it is:

I was watching the documentary on Mormons the other night on PBS (I believe it was a repeat), and it occurred to me, as they discussed a gay man and "apostate" woman who had been excommunicated, that Mormons attract certain Enneagram personality types better than others. As they mentioned in the documentary, the LDS culture is communal in nature, not individualistic. Types such as six, two, and nine are more likely to be drawn to the LDS church than other types. Of course, other personality types appear in the church membership, I'm sure.

Now, if the leaders of that religion decided to be more accepting of homosexuals, they would gain some members, and some different personality types ... and lose others, who are more traditionalist.

Look at it another way: there are people out there who will never vote for any of the current presidential candidates. They would rather die than vote for a Democrat or Republican. There are some who will vote for an independent candidate, and others who will choose not to vote at all.

No one politician can attract 100% of the public to his or her campaign. No one politician can get the majority of all nine personality types to buy into his or her message. Any politician or leader who claims that type of following (Castro, Saddam) is doing so by force.

Anytime an organization claims to have near 100% support from the public, consider what is forcing people to feel this way. And if there is no apparent force (military, impending doom of some sort), then you know that the spokesperson for that organization is LYING.

Christian Wright Q & A board:

Why do Muslim men get to control their women?

Dear Reverend Wright:

I'm a big fan of your show on DS:TBN. I think you're the
only televangelist who tells it like it is.

Anyway, I have a question: I heard on the news the
other day that in Malaysia, women aren't allowed to
wear miniskirts to work because it's indecent. How
come we can't get a law like that here?

They're Muslim in Malaysia, and yet they get to hold to
God's word when it comes to purity of appearance. Why
do we have to accept these independent Christian ladies
here who dress like Delilah and talk like Mary? Why
can't we lay the law down like they do in them Muslim
countries?

I know you'll have the right answer, Reverend. Thanks.

Well, Nick, first of all, those heathens are going to
hell. As it says in I Timothy, some will have the
appearance of godliness, but lack it's power.

As for us, most of our country is going to hell, as
well. It's unfortunate, but true. Now, I know I'm not
supposed to judge, but it doesn't take a rocket
scientist to figure out we're ignoring God's precious
teachings that were given to us by his son, Jesus
Christ.

So, all I can tell you is keep praying, and vote
Republican. Everything will be all right in the end.
Even if the rest of the country goes to hell, you'll be
saved by the blood of the lamb. As Jesus says in
Matthew, "Many are called, but few are chosen." We
just have to accept that most of the 6 billion in the
world are going to hell -- even the muslims who are
keeping their women in line.
