The word “discrimination” has fallen on hard times. Everyone is afraid of it. I guess it sounds scary. To be caught “discriminating” is a capital offense. But in the real world, it is discrimination that keeps us alive. It is what makes us unique. Say for instance, you walk into a car dealership and see two gentlemen waiting to sell you a car. One appears dishonest to you for whatever reason (perhaps a skinny mustache). The other strikes you as honest. Maybe he has a kind look in his eye. Who do you approach? Congratulations, you’ve just discriminated. Last time I checked, having “discriminating taste” was still a positive attribute. Heck, choosy moms choose Jif.
What does this have to do with voting? Everything. In fact, all of us are going to discriminate this fall in order to select a new president. We’ll be making judgments for goodness sake! It’s okay. Calm down, everyone. God himself expects it.
“My son, preserve sound judgment and discernment, do not let them out of your sight.” Proverbs 3:21
“Open your mouth, judge righteously, and defend the rights of the afflicted and needy.” Proverbs 31:9
Participating in political elections is only part of the equation. Voting is a way of life for those wanting a free and prosperous society, uncluttered by social ills. We cast a ballot every time we make a decision to support or reject cultural offerings. We can vote with our money by choosing where to spend it. If you don’t like the fact that McDonald’s believes it is being socially responsible by promoting the homosexual agenda, you stop eating their food.
Wow! That’s freedom. That’s powerful. What values most to you?
Personally, I think Whataburger has better shakes.
