Facebook has been filled with noise, very unpleasant
noise. This week the Supreme Court has
taken up the case for same-sex marriage.
Every time a story like this hits the news I notice two things. First, secular people all of a sudden become
Bible scholars. Second, Christians
become cowards.
The first observation looks something like this: “Wow. Look at all of those Christians, who say homosexuality is a sin, they must also believe that we can’t eat shell fish too! Get with the times. Aren’t we supposed to love our neighbor? Ugh!” Regardless of what these scoffers may proclaim, people who use this kind of thinking are secular regardless of what their Facebook or Sunday morning routine may say. Their reasoning is ignorant and the foundations of their worldview are empty. Secular thinking must presuppose, while also suppressing, Christian thinking.
