Use Your Heads Not Your Hearts
Dennis Prager, writing for Townhall.com, has a thought provoking piece up titled “It’s the heart versus the Bible."
Prager’s piece looks at how individuals make determinations of right and wrong. Are individuals using their eyes and heart, or their minds? A couple of excerpts.
"In a nutshell, that’s the major reason for the great divide within America and between America and much of Europe. The majority of people use their heart—stirred by their eyes—to determine what is right and wrong. A minority uses their mind and/or the Bible to make that determination."
And this.
"This is a potentially fatal problem for our civilization. As beautiful as the heart might be, it is neither intellectually nor morally profound."
Interesting piece.
