Morals Schmorals...
It seems that Christians might just be proven correct about somethings. Yeah I know we Christians are "in the dark ages" with some of our views on sexuality, pornography, dating, marriage and what not. But you know, one thing seems to becoming clearer and clearer to me. Christians beliefs in objective truth helps to provide stability in a chaotic and evil world. Moral structures are needed to outline the proper behavior for a society and society must be willing to adhere to this moral structure and be willing to punish those who do not abide by the structure.
The second a person decides that morals are bad, no truth can be had, and all is relative, that person will immediately find themself on a slippery slope that can't ever level off. All actions must immediately become permissable since who can judge what is right? Who can say anyone is wrong?
We are getting close to this point where we care more for the freedom to act than those those who are injured by one's freedom to act.
Check out this story.
How moral is it to let a criminal of this sort off without any punishment? What about the protection of the girl who was smaller than this small guy? How could we, the USA, with the Constitution that is supposed to protect the innocent and the weak, get to a place where those (regardless of size) can prey on the innocent and weak and virtually get away with it? Did you notice that even the ACLU does not agree with this ruling. What does this tell you?
My prayers are with the little girl.
My prayers are with that judge who has lost the understanding of what it means to dispense justice.
If being a Christian means that truth exists, that some actions are wrong and should be punished be it now or later, that people must have solid boundaries and consequences, then I am ok with that. I am ok admitting that our world is messed up. I am ok saying that not all people can be trusted and some people are destructive. I am ok taking a stand and saying that someone's actions are wrong and they deserve to be punished because they made a CHOICE to HURT A LITTLE GIRL and not waiver when it comes time to punish that pervert.
I am ok with morals. I am ok with justice. I am not ok with this injustice. Again, my prayers are with this little girl and our nation's judges.
