Why Good Arguments Often Fail
Posted by tom | Mar 14, 2006Jim Sire's new piece Why Good Arguments Often Fail came in the mailbox over the weekend. I took a look at the Preface and am ready to go, follow the link for a PDF version of the Preface . . . but I'll have to wait a few hours as I'm taking part in a conversation regarding the first chapter of Sears and Osten's The Homosexual Agenda and leading one on the various women of Proverbs 1-9.
Add on a few conversations afterward, dinner, watching the kids while Theresa's at Pilates, then it looks like an after eight. Please take a moment to pray for healthy conversation and insight into the topics under consideration. I'll keep you to up-to-date on these readings. If you're reading along and have comments to share, let me know.
Ooh. I read through the short summary for "The Homosexual Agenda" and frankly got shivers. I hope the word agenda doesn't mean what I think it means. Whatever your moral stance, I don't think it's ever a good idea to accuse a discriminated-against minority of having an "agenda." The belief that homosexuality is against God's wishes for humanity does not equal the belief that homosexuals themselves make up some sort of anti-Christian conspiracy. When did we start pointing fingers at each other, instead of at the Devil?
