Is This The Truth?
Sep 20th, 2007 by Randy Toman
I can’t help but thinking that the politicians don’t even think about this? (See below) You ask what kind of question is that? Well it comes from listening to the Republicans I have been around here in the valley. The practicality shown by those I have spoken to tells’ me there is no fixed point from which they might reach a decision that would be consistent with some rule. The office holders are especially prone to put their finger up and see which way the wind is blowing and make adjustments to their direction or how they will be voting. That has to be true if your colleagues as a group have a 14% approval rating, don’t you think?
We are facing issues that need sound thinking, based on rules that are eternal not flexible and they should not be adjustable to include every pervert coming down the pike.
“On what basis does the non-theistic and practical atheist make moral choices,
which include going to war and capital punishment? One might answer, ‘the
Constitution,’ but to many liberals the Constitution is a ‘living document’
subject to constant interpretation, re-interpretation and revision to match
‘the times.’ So is it the times that shape such a presidential candidate,
or something more permanent?… Those without theological training or
experience in faith often find such questions embarrassing because they
don’t want to face ridicule from their mostly secular colleagues. But to
hide these issues in the catacombs of journalism is a poor excuse. The
questions should be asked of both the religious and the secular to help
voters make up their minds which ones best adhere to godly principles and
to determine what standards govern the ones who do not.” —Cal
