Acelaşi autor revine cu o temă pe care a mai tratat-o în emisiunile sale radio: cum anume ne raportăm la alte religii, ce înseamnă respectul în acest caz? Respectăm credincioşii altor religii, dar nu religia acelor credincioşi?
Putem să ne imaginăm o lume în care am avea numai căsătorii gay? Dar o lume în care abolim limbajul sexist? Al Mohler spune
We cannot make sense of life without the integrity of terms like „male” and „female,” „man” and „woman.” Even those who argue against these „binary” terms are forced to use them. This is common grace visible to all – a law written into human consciousness.
So much is at stake in this controversy. This is not just about same-sex marriage, homosexuality, or the way society should understand sexuality, marriage, and gender. This is about recognizing that the Creator has given us these categories for his glory and for our good.
Este Ziua Mamei o idee proastă? Se pare că da, dar problema trebuie nuanţată.
Mother’s Day is a bad idea because it subverts the reality of faithful mothering and robs faithful mothers of their true glory. Mothers deserving of honor are handed cards and taken to lunch, when songs of praise should instead be offered to the glory of God. Undeserving mothers, who abdicate their true responsibility, are honored just because they are mothers. Children, young and old, who ignore and dishonor their mothers by word and by life throughout the year, assuage their guilt by making a big deal of Mother’s Day.
So, Mother’s Day is a bad idea.
Dacă vreau să mor şi doctorul nu mă asistă, este un doctor bun sau un doctor rău? Oare ce avem de făcut ca să punem capăt suferinţei? Eliminăm pe cel care este în suferinţă?
Keep all this in mind as the Obama administration is considering proposals to limit or eliminate federal conscience protections for doctors, hospitals, and health care workers. A physician forced to participate in killing, whether at the beginning or end stage of life, is a physician forced to abandon the first principle of medical ethics – do no harm.
Listen carefully as Dr. Toffler puts the issue into clear perspective: „The solution to suffering never is to eliminate the sufferer.”
Am citit analiza pozitiei lui Obama. A fost f bine facuta. Ar putea cineva sa traduca acest articol in romaneste…?
