Genesis 1

26-28 God spoke: "Let us make human beings in our image, make them reflecting our nature So they can be responsible for the fish in the sea, the birds in the air, the cattle, And, yes, Earth itself, and every animal that moves on the face of Earth."

I don't care...'be responsible'...in an election year how to BE responsible vote??..pay attention and vote. Why does it frustrate me so to think about???
