Thoughts

Well, I've been having a bit of a squiz at Bill Muelhenberg's site. He writes some beefy Christian articles that are more often than not thought provoking, and the responses are also stimulating.

One of the things that has gotten my mind ticking over is the whole issue of the separation of church and state. It seems to be linked to a separation of belief and action. In one comment, a lady said that she respects peoples right to believe what they like, it is when they put it into action that she has a problem with it.

It is because of people like this that we have a really gutless society. We have a society that is so full of platitudes, but there is no substance to it. We have the best thoughts, but nothing is moving forward.

We have politicians who believe one thing, but they do not dare to put what they believe into action. And when they do, we jump down their throats. We have religious leaders who preach humanism, a complete non-belief to a large degree, and when an imam makes a stand for his religion, he is shot down as bigotted and disgraceful.

If we want to have freedom of thought, surely we should make an effort to understand the thoughts of others.
