CNN shared an article titled, "When Religious Beliefs Become Evil: 4 Signs". It addresses the bombing in Boston but demonizes all who would hold to a firm faith system of belief. A couple of their observations:
- Truth is now seen as the first step toward "evil."
- Experts say that "healthy religions acknowledge that sincere people can disagree about even basic truths."
The article simple declares that no one should be really serious about their faith to the point of believing it's really true. If you get that serious you're probably on your way to being a terrorist. (secularism and pluralism at its best). The article also addresses the need to avoid taking "sacred literature" too seriously. As Bible-believing Christians we would say:
- The Bible is the word of God. It is truth without any mixture of error.
- Jesus is the only way of salvation.
- There is absolute truth.
- The most loving thing a Christian can do is tell the world the truth.
"Let us hold fast to the
confession of our hope without wavering, for he who has promised is faithful. And
let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds, not
neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one
another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching" (Hebrews 10:23-25,
NASB).
