Religion and Politics – Natural Bed Fellows

Progressive Faith Sermons - Dr. Roger Ray

What makes some topics controversial is because you can make a rational defense of either side of the issue. For example, you can mount logical arguments in favor of either socialism or capitalism but you cannot have a reasonable debate about whether the Earth is round or flat.

Unfortunately, we often fail to have the needed rational debates that help us to grow and learn because we have become afraid of the kind of divisive fighting that crops up around subjects for which there really isn't a logical debate.

We need to have more conversations that bring light into the world and fewer that just create heat.
