Back in the day there were three things that you didn't discuss in polite company - sex, politics and religion.
Discussing Sex I can understand. That is discretion.
In the barber shop, they used to have a sign:
"No Discussing Politics or Religion."
They are really one in the same.
Someone's politics is a reflection on their morality. Someone's religion is a reflection on their relationship with the Almighty.
Today in church, our Pastor used a visual aid. He took a strand of rope, and put it down the stairs to the stage.
He said that God's law is straight, and you are either on one side, or the other.
On one side, there is Justice, Purity, Holiness, Faith, and Truth.
On the other side, there is Injustice, Selfishness, Evil, Murder, and Lies.
In this world, the line is not completely straight. Sometimes, it seems the Good are punished, while the Evil get off Scott free.
But, we will all be judged.
It is only by the Grace of Christ that I will not be damned forever into Hell.
The way people interpret God's straight line of law is a reflection on them, and where they are with God.
