So it's been quite a while since I posted anything on this blog...over 15 months. However, today seems like a good time to continue. Maybe entries will even be posted with some regularity, even though there's loads of stuff for me to do, such as study for a kinesiology lab exam, a neuroscience exam, conduct two interviews about how the disabled were treated back in the day, a presentation on Guillain-Barre, and a couple things for bio lab. On top of that, my parents and my brother are visiting for a couple of days in a week and a half. However, I've often felt the need to say something, given the state of society these days. Who is honest and in their right mind these days? Who can you trust?
Case in point: Thanks to Michael Tennant, I've now discovered that Walter E. Williams, a free-market economist, is unfortunately a blood thirsty warmonger. Hopefully he does not consider himself a Christian, since he says "Thank God" to the fact that the deaths of innocent people "were not considered" in the US's war on Japan and Germany. How is this acceptable? Let us remember the wisdom found in Proverbs: There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers. If God hates hands that shed innocent blood, how is it acceptable to thank Him for the slaughter of innocents? Did Christ say or did He not say "Blessed are the peacemakers." These Bible verses are very clear. They cannot be taken the wrong way by anyone with the intelligence to be functionally literate (Disclaimer: I do realize that there are very intelligent people with reading difficulties.) Although Laurence Vance has already done an excellent job covering Christianity and war, I may add some of my own thoughts to the mixture.
