I've seen a lot in the media for the last couple of days about how Blue States demean Red States. Well, this might be why:
This is an image from the Baltimore Sun's article on Sunday about faith in America. This image is from a Church in Ohio. Might one think that there were poor, unemployed or underemployed, who might have taken more benefit from the money spent on this statue? Money spent instead to feed children? Money instead spent on training unemployed workers? Would that not have been the Christian thing to do AND the rational action to take?
Here's a quote from the article. Rational thought not really in the mood of the nation right now:
"But when it comes down to it, millions upon millions have died from abortion and only thousands have died in Iraq, as horrific as that's been," he said. "There's been beheadings in Iraq, yet there are beheadings taking place right inside a mother's womb."I want to stay and fight, but if you don't have a rational basis for a discussion, i.e. you're a believer or a non-believer, what am I fighting for?
Don't misunderstand, I'm not critical of individually held beliefs. What I believe is at work right now is not individual beliefs, but rather a belief that a single interpretation of biblical teachings trumps all. Rational thought, gone. Logic, gone.
What am I fighting for?
