Thou shalt not act like a horse

I respect my sunday school teacher. I don't like to talk about politics or philosophy because admittedly, I learned to debate well. When such topics are brought up, I often get rolled eyes from the majority of my peers for even caring about those topics, much less wanting to "discuss" them both objectively and subjectively. However, because I respect him, I trust him and because I trust him, we began down this topic sunday morning before sunday school.


He is taking a Biblical Worldview class (http://cathyduffyreviews.com/worldview/worldview-index.htm) that my father is teaching. I took this class last year.


It changes you, whether it is a curse or blessing, I have not yet given a verdict.


My teacher summarized the experience quite well, "I feel like the blinders that every christian has on have been removed and to be honest, it's scary. It shows how everything is connected and intertwined, but also how christians have failed to follow Christ's example in living a unified, connected life."

(looks foolish, doesn't it?)

Whether you are atheist, christian, deist, buddhist, etc, the religion you choose truly effects everything. In the modern day, we don't connect our religious affiliation with our political views or our psychological beliefs. We tend to compartmentalize. When at church, rarely is that seen as affiliated with what we accept as true in the classroom. My teacher was right, it is scary to remove the blinders or dividers that separate your church life, work life, home life, sports life, thought life, school life, social life, moral life, political life, etc. In one swoop, there now exists a challenge of maintaining consistency and to add to the pressure, You are held accountable to an omnipotent God. He is right; it is scary to take the blinders off, but you look pretty foolish wearing them.

Take them off. I double dog dare you.
