The End of the Golden Rule

The most fundamental principle of morality is the Golden Rule. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." It is a principle so basic and foundational that in one form or another it has been expressed by nearly every religion.

President Bush, however, has determined that this principle no longer operates in America. He has turned the principle on its head. For President Bush the rule is "Do unto others, before they do whatever you think they are going to do, and call it self-defense."

President Bush's doctrine of pre-emption is immoral, evil, and sub-Christian.

Hi!

This really shouldn't come as a suprise. The Golden Rule has fallen out of favor, kind of like "love your neighbor as yourself." As Christians we have continually placed our own needs and desires above those of others. This is how we are losing our witness among those who desperately need someone to point the way to Christ.

God Bless,
