How Should We Then Live?

I haven’t posted in more than a year.

Not because I have nothing to say, but because I am losing the stomach to say it.

Fortunately, because of that lag, few people if any will read this. But if you are one of the few perhaps we can have some discussion.

As a conservative Christian, white, middle-aged man who makes more than the national average I am the current villain. I didn’t do anything to anyone to make me the villain, in fact I try to help people wherever I can, but nonetheless I am the villain.

And yet I live in a country where the State of New York has just made it legal to kill babies…and their leaders gave a standing ovation to the accomplishment. In order to arrive at this historic occasion they had to remove protections that were previously in place for WANTED unborn children…because you can’t accuse one person of manslaughter for killing a wanted fetus and then allow a doctor to kill and unwanted one the next day.

But I’m the bad guy.

The same progressive crowd who cry “science, science” and tell me I must be an ignorant Christian bigot who has no intelligent understanding of scientific proofs or process if I even ask a question about global warming point out that the science doesn’t matter when stacked against a woman’s right to govern her own body.

I was a science major, I’m the bad guy.

I live in a country founded on the principle that all men were created equal…not that they evolved equally…and while it may or may not have been founded as a “Christian Nation” (which is worthy of discussion) it at least was founded on the idea that there was a God up there somewhere who was watching.

So to my Christian friends I ask: How should we then live?

If professing the love of Christ is evil. If wanting to speak for those who cannot speak is politically immoral. If it is ok to publically jump all over a Catholic KID using a well developed fan base and media platform, and then merely throw up an “oops my bad” without consequence.

I think we just to say less, and ask more.

So please, remind me, how did I became the bad guy?

 

More thoughts on how to live in the shadow of this insanity to come.
