My mother keeps saying I should write more, and I keep avoiding it. Well, I finally got around to writing up some of my thoughts on the recent election, specifically why I voted for Kerry.

If you voted for Bush, maybe this will help to explain why nearly half the country disagreed with you so strongly. If you're an atheist who voted for Kerry or lives outside the United States, maybe this will help you to see that not all Christians are as dumb as you think we are - not all of us followed the herd, so please don't blame our religion.
