I'm Almost Ashamed to Acknowledge This

Many of the individuals who stop by here know that I have faith.  It developed in me through my upbringing in a Dutch Christian Reformed Church.  Quite a conservative bunch too I might add.  My faith is personal and, for the most part ineffable.  Except for two very important things.  My faith recognizes that the most important gift to man is his reason and that each individual is indeed sovereign.

Last night, while reading some blogs, I stopped by Arthur Silber’s and read a post Arthur titled “Worthy of Death." The post notes an op-ed written by one Susan Sanford and published in the Daily Mountain Eagle. The piece is titled “Sodom and Gomorrah revisited."

Arthur, righteously, excoriates Sanford, and labels this as a "vile piece of filth." I totally agree.  Why am I almost ashamed to acknowledge this?  Because I know there are individuals who actually believe what Sanford so execrably pens.  I know individuals who have set aside reason to embrace the passages Sanford quotes from the Bible.  It saddens me that I do and I cringe, CRINGE, at this rush to judgment by individuals who profess to accept Christ.

Plucking slivers they shove enough boards into their eyes to erect a monument of epic proportions to fools.
