We get mixed messages today: "Practice tolerance!" "Judge not!" Does that mean that all human behavior choices should be regarded as equal?
But then we are told: "Friends don't let friends drive drunk." Does that mean we are suppose to not allow our friends to engage in destructive behavior?
It's all so confusing! I can understand why "To do or not to do?" is often an unasked question today. People seem to do things without any thought or deliberation -- "If it feels good do it". But we are so inconsistent.
We are told that killing a baby in the womb is a private "choice" and it doesn't make any difference whether we kill the baby or let it live. But then we are told that if we use regular light bulbs instead of florescent bulbs we are helping to cause global warming and are destroying the earth. Excuse me? Am I suppose to believe that my choice to kill a baby doesn't matter, but my choice to use a particular type of light bulb does matter? Gosh, that seems weird to me!
We are even told that some people are born with certain behaviors in their genetic make-up and that they have little or no choice about them. So if someone has a "genetic preference" for regular light bulbs or an "orientation" for drunk driving, why don't we tolerate them and applaud their "pride" day?
If Al Gore gets praised for speaking out against human behaviors that are destroying our planet (And I am glad Al spoke out.) then why don't those who speak out against human behaviors that are destroying our moral standards get praised? What good will a physically clean but a morally depraved environment do us? Don't we need to speak against all forms of human self-destruction?
If human behavior matters, speak up, before it is too late!
