Opaque Lucidity

Scandal As Example

Here's one more: a scandal in a Christian church. The problem, as I see it, is that the guilty party in this case, as with many others, is a Christian in name only. His actions are not justified by true Christian teaching, regardless of how liberally the Bible is interpreted.

Of course, that doesn't matter to the anti-religion media. To them, any transgression by a church leader is grist for the mill. Remember all the priest pedophilia cases that sprang up a few years ago? Many of them were settled, but there are two facts never reported on: the cases that were thrown out and the fact that even if every accused priest were guilty, it would still be a smaller per capita number than the general population. I don't say that to justify anyone's actions, but to point out that the scandal wasn't as scandalous as we were led to believe.

Regardless of what you believe, there is no denying that Judeo-Christian values are what made this the greatest nation on earth. We are constantly told that our Founding Fathers were deists at best and some were probably agnostics. Regardless, they understood well the value of a society based on moral principles and not humanist logic. So as the faithless pundits (mostly leftists) laugh at anyone with even a shred of faith, they fail to realize that they are driving our nation away from what made it great.
