Is God a Democrat or a Republican? Of course, He is neither! That doesn’t make Him a Libertarian or Independent either. No political party owns God. And they don’t own truth or science either. I would rather belong to a party that is owned by God than a party that owns god. See the difference?

There is a war brewing in my house. You can just feel it in the air. If we had pets, I’m pretty sure they would be acting strangely.This war is not a long-standing family feud. It’s not between the Hatfields and McCoys or the Capulets and Montagues.
