All Christians must ask one question if they want to escape the appearance of impropriety.
Can a person who exalts their faith (affection for God) with fiction be ‘godlier’ than a person who exalts their faith (affection for God) with truth?
If you answer yes, truth doesn’t matter as long as the believer believes. (Feel free to sing a verse of “Heresy’s ‘just all right with me,’ the reason I have a tailbone doesn’t matter.”)
If you answer ‘no’ … because truth does matter … you cannot claim to be a Christian without embracing ‘a form of godliness’ that undermines intellectual integrity.
Literacy matters. Congressional leadership is handicapped by the belief that Satan is real. We need for SCOTUS to overcome it’s dependence on faith as it has always been and raise the bar so we can empower equality, liberty, and justice for all. Justice frees the truth about Jesus from the childish make-believe. Celebrating Jesus correctly, and that includes his birth, allows us to throw away the nonsense that makes so many believe in purgatory and eternal damnation. The real reformation doesn’t lead to Protestantism, it leads to freedom from Judaism 1 and 2.0, Roger.
