Here's the catch-22 about belief:
- We all do what we do based on what we believe. Not what we say we believe, but what we really believe, even if only in the moment. All of us. Every one.
- We live in a time and culture where we are told all beliefs are to be valued/appreciated/celebrated equally. One of the only "wrongs" is not to agree with this.
- Some of us (and in some ways, all of us) do some horrible things based on what we believe (see
pinkroo's post and
thisglimpse's post for this morning's examples on a governmental scale).
- Because of #2, those things can't really be classified as wrong, because they were based on #1.
But Jesus could do it, so I'll trust Him.
