On Facebook the other day, a heated exchange broke out over Obama’s health care plan, during which one woman concluded that another respondent needed to “get saved!” She may have intended it in a humble and gentle spirit, but it didn’t come off that way. Not helpful.
Later, it occured to me how ironic it was that “Christians” were attempting to uphold the sanctity of human life while calling opponents “stupid.” No, it's more than ironic. It's a betrayal of the principle, as expressed in James 3:9-10:
"With [the tongue] we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the likeness of God. . . My brethren, these things ought not to be this way."
Please, can we turn off the heat and tone down the rhetoric?
