 AtlLiberal says: Hodge contines: "If we love God, we should obey Him (John 14:15). To love God first means to obey Him first--before looking at our neighbor. So, is the greater good trusting God when He says not to lie or trusting in our fallible, sinful minds about the uncertain future? Consider this carefully. In the situation of a Nazi beating on the door, we have assumed a lie would save a life, but really we don't know. So, one would be opting to lie and disobey God without the certainty of saving a life--keeping in mind that all are ultimately condemned to die physically. Besides, whether one lied or not may not have stopped the Nazi solders from searching the house anyway." I certainly wouldn't have thought of it in that way. You learn something new everyday. One more layer off the onion (and no, not the onion parody page). When you start to really investigate what is at the heart of religion and the wacko's that influence the lives of so many in the name of their god you start to see some really scary stuff. Betcha Hodge is a WASP and white supremicist. I think that most christians I know would lie their rear ends off. Have to tell you, I had an experience today with a bus full of "Christians" that only solidifies my belief that religion provides a hiding place for hate and arrogance. Started out with all of them getting on the bus (mostly over the age of 60) and they greeting one another and acknowledging one anothers churches. It quickly broke down into "What do you think about Obama" talks with smirky remarks about ghettos and rag heads. At one point the guy that organized the ride openly stated that he hoped there was a bullet out there with Obama's name on it. Then the jokes began. Most were your garden variety blond jokes, mixed in with stupid wives, and ignorant African Americans (they were too p... @OC Good grief! You certainly have a better method of compartmentalizing than I do. This is the sort of thing that absolutely makes my skin crawl. I suppose there is something to be said for being somewhat of a loner. I much prefer walks in the woods. I've got to hand it to you - since I didn't see any news this evening about mayhem on a casino trip I assume you were able to observe and not provoke. Thanks for sharing this. |
