I may have missed your answer in reading, but when do we, as Christians,l (or the unsaved for that matter) become complicit in the sins of the government under which we live?
This entry makes me think of Peter Singer’s “Famine, Affluence and Morality.” Especially as a response to that so described “guilt driven itch.” If what we have, has come to us through unjust means, as you have proved in these words; then would Singers imperatives of altruism be a reasonable response? I would be curious to hear your treatment of his argument.
And it makes me wonder if even though he is a humanist, is his argument more in line with Jesus’ command to the rich young man in Mark 10:21 than our modern interpretations would be comfortable with? I think it may be so. What are your thoughts?
