If God has revealed to you a hypocrisy
and you pretend not having seen the hypocrisy
then you are worse than a mere hypocrite
If that's the case
it is you who are unfortunate
and not anyone else
And if such a person like you become unfortunate
then it is God who cries most
So, please concern about your God
more than you concern about politics (or yourself)

Gamaliel's advice
"Men of Israel, take care what you do with these men. For before these days Theudas arose, giving himself out to be somebody, and a number of men, about four hundred, joined him; but he was slain and all who followed him were dispersed and came to nothing. After him Judas the Galilean arose in the days of the census and drew away some of the people after him; he also perished, and all who followed him were scattered. So in the present case I tell you, keep away from these men and let them alone; for if this plan or this undertaking is of men, it will fail; but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them. You might even be found opposing God!" (Acts 5: 35~39)
We could doubt anyone's motivation for any reasons. But we have to be aware; if I doubt, then I will be the one who might lose heavenly fortune. It is my choice, to which nobody will be responsible. Therefore, it doesn't worth risking yourself to doubt someone without totally confirming reasons, or even with those reasons also.
One of the standard of judgment should be the universal law--everything exists for others--or, am I living for others or for myself first. If you judge someone's motivation without knowing what really is true, then you will be unfortunate not him.

Be careful when you start pointing fingers
This is pretty easy to understand and also easy to say
Then you would say...
"Hey, you guys are causing this disunity. You guys are the problem. So, you guys must be the Devil." thus ending up pointing fingers on the other party
Be careful! You might have become the powerful part of his plan, especially when you find yourself pointing fingers at someone for any reasons
Because that has been his major age-old strategy to accomplish his goal
--get someone to accuse, or blame someone, saying that it is "your" responsibility (means not mine)
Do not be so easily trapped, and become his instrument without knowing what you are doing
And please do not underestimate his strategy; do not be over-confident; do not say, "I know him too well, his strategy is to create division, that's why what you do is wrong! what you are doing just gives him joy and make God sad."
It is so easy to be saying these things especially when you become emotional
but what you are doing is based on some labeling certain people without considering they are "real" human beings--or, your brothers and sisters with their real feelings, etc.
So, just calm down and seriously examine yourself
How can you look at people so shallow... I know you may be good at math, but...
The only solution is...
to begin with saying that this is my responsibility
and stop pointing fingers at anyone
Take responsibility in finding out what is God's will for you
and what is God's will for the world
and what is God's will for the church
And you need to decide who you want to follow
Do you want to follow your own conscience
or, do you want to follow the majority?
so that you can avoid "fear" of any sort?
You've got to seriously talk to God about this
Anyway, it is not too late
no, it is just a beginning!
And needless to say, this is because you are ... of ... and your ... is ...!

Some "evil spirits" experience
I had some interesting "spiritual" experience.
I don't know if you have "kanashibari (palsy? sleep paralysis?)" experiences.
Anyway, to make a long story short, last night some "spirits" bothered me when I was about to sleep. Some pressed different parts of my body with very heavy stuff, some tried to sting something sharp, some pulled some parts of my body, etc. It was pretty much annoying as usual.
Usually when this kind of things happen, I would say to them, "You again? Come on! Don't do it. Hey...why you do these things to me? what do you gain out of this? etc..." But last night...
Some sense of sympathy felt, and I thought they are not happy spirits. What if "I" have to do these things when I get to the next world? They may not know God, they may not know the truth, they may not have experienced love, they may be so lonely... Then I found myself praying to God, "Please remember them, sympathize with them. For some reason they must have ended up so miserable like this through their lives...but they are also your children. Please help them get liberated from their state..." I even found myself with tears.
And then some new thoughts came in, "I received so much of God's love, while there are so many who do not, including these guys. I don't give myself enough to help them. I felt so thankful but also so sorry for my not doing enough...I'm so sorry..."
and another thought, "without their bothering me I wouldn't have this kind of realization nor this kind of love and sympathy for them. I really thank them for their bothering me..." Then somehow, the "spiritual" atmosphere gradually changed with some kind of nice "colors" and feelings.
Then I felt those guys getting off from me and the one guy gently grabbed my shoulders with his both hands and gently massaged my shoulder one, two, three times and left.
Then I prayed and peacefully slept.
I learned that when certain unpleasant thing happen to me, I tend to react with complaint/unhappiness or react habitually, but instead of doing that, I should first be grateful, and then have giving (loving) attitude to others. Then I believe that type of love should be able to melt many obstacles built by resentment, hatred, etc.
After all, "love" is so important and so powerful!

How much does it cost to believe in God?
When it cost so much to believe in God, then true believer might rise.
Maybe that's what God is looking for.
Through true believers he may plan to usher in to this new age to come
which will be the age of true peace, true love, and true happiness
where there will be no boundaries
but only the genuine commitment to exist for others...
So, how much does it cost for you to believe in God?
