  1. Part of the problem might be Christianity’s tendency to put on a pedestal altruism–a concept that is anti-human and logically false. “My purpose is to serve others. What others’ purpose is…I have no idea.” Others are more important than your own thinking.

    Altruism is illogical because no matter how sacrificial you decide to be, it is YOUR decision to do it because it is YOUR preferred outcome. (I’m not saying it is bad to do good for others; indeed, it makes YOU feel better.)

    1. Healey, Christ taught in the Good Samaritan parable that being a neighbor to someone in distress requires helping them. He also taught us to love our neighbors as ourselves. Christian teaching has historically emphasized helping those in need– especially widows and orphans. Sometimes the challenge is in determining what situations represents genuine need.

      But as you suggest, feeling that we must extend this altruism– these demonstrations of charity– to every victim group anointed by the socialist elite, according to their dictates and demands, is untenable. We can’t allow ourselves to be locked into the agendas perpetuated by the ungodly, or to be manipulated by them.

  2. Christians should pay attention as to where they get their information and be wary those they are getting their advice and counsel from. If you are listening to bad voices you are apt to go down that path.

    John West tells us about Francis Collins a supposedly evangelical Christian who has done all these ungodly things and is still looked up to.

    1. Yes, Fred, Francis Collins turned out to be a very bad guy.

      Part of the problem, Fred, is that some evangelical Christian leaders use their feints to the left to seek and obtain the approval of non-Christian elites. It is all very calculated. But some of them are PART of the left. I think of JD Greear, but there are many others.
