let's just be honest

Do you see the discrepancy from yesterday’s blog? There is much criticism of some Christians trying to “shove their religion down my throat” because of opposition to such moral issues as same-sex marriage and abortion. Whatever your thinking on these topics, there are definitely worldview implications that influence your thinking.

The logical disconnect is when people try to pretend like you can make “values neutral” decisions on something like same-sex marriage or abortion, but use your values when it comes to legislation coming to the aid of the poor and needy. If you want to try to have it both ways and be logical, it doesn’t work.

As I said yesterday, let’s be honest and admit that we do use all kinds of worldviews to influence our thinking and our government’s legislation. Same-sex marriage and abortion may be supported by legislators in spite of certain worldview implications, but let’s be totally clear that using moral/values judgments occur all the time in a wide variety of ways. Then we can come to the table of public policy on equal footing.
