タイムライン

    In the context of America's growing diversity, the dangers of sectarianism are emphasized, indicating that the nation is no longer just a Christian entity but includes various religions and non-believers. This raises questions about which Christian principles should guide public policy if non-Christians were expelled, highlighting the complexity of establishing a common moral framework. The speaker calls for those with religious beliefs to translate their concerns into universal values that can be understood by people of all faiths and those without faith. This requires political proposals to be reasons-based rather than solely religious, advocating for compromise in policymaking. An example from the story of Abraham and Isaac illustrates the potential dangers of rigidly adhering to uncompromising religious commitments in political decisions. The speaker expresses hope that a bridge can be built to overcome prejudices and emphasizes the desire among many Americans for faith to be used as a unifying force rather than a tool for division.

    given the increasing diversity of
  • 00:00:03
    America's populations the dangers of
  • 00:00:05
    sectarianism are greater than ever
  • 00:00:08
    whatever we once were we are no longer a
  • 00:00:11
    Christian
  • 00:00:12
    Nation at least not just we are also a
  • 00:00:16
    Jewish nation and a Muslim nation and a
  • 00:00:18
    Buddhist nation and a Hindu nation and a
  • 00:00:21
    nation of
  • 00:00:23
    non-believers and even if we did have
  • 00:00:25
    only Christians in our midst if we
  • 00:00:29
    expelled
  • 00:00:30
    every non-Christian from the United
  • 00:00:33
    States of America whose Christianity
  • 00:00:35
    would we teach in the
  • 00:00:36
    schools would it be James doson or Al
  • 00:00:41
    Sharps which passages of scripture
  • 00:00:44
    should guide our public policy should we
  • 00:00:47
    go with uh Leviticus which uh suggests
  • 00:00:51
    slavery is okay and that eating
  • 00:00:53
    shellfish is an
  • 00:00:55
    Abomination or we could go with the
  • 00:00:58
    Deuteronomy which justest stoning your
  • 00:01:01
    child if he Strays from the faith or
  • 00:01:04
    should we just stick to The Sermon on
  • 00:01:06
    the Mount a passage that is so radical
  • 00:01:10
    that it's doubtful that our own defense
  • 00:01:12
    department would survive its
  • 00:01:15
    application
  • 00:01:18
    we so before we get carried away let's
  • 00:01:21
    read our Bibles
  • 00:01:23
    now folks haven't been reading their
  • 00:01:25
    Bible which brings me to my second Point
  • 00:01:28
    democracy demands that the religiously
  • 00:01:31
    motivated translate their concerns into
  • 00:01:35
    Universal rather than religion specific
  • 00:01:39
    values what do I mean by this it
  • 00:01:41
    requires that their proposals be subject
  • 00:01:44
    to argument and amable to
  • 00:01:48
    reason now I may be opposed to abortion
  • 00:01:51
    for religious reasons to take one
  • 00:01:54
    example but if I seek to pass a law
  • 00:01:57
    Banning the practice
  • 00:01:59
    I can't simply point to the teachings of
  • 00:02:01
    my church or evoke God's
  • 00:02:04
    will I have to explain why abortion
  • 00:02:07
    violates some principle that is
  • 00:02:08
    accessible to people of all faiths
  • 00:02:11
    including those with no faith at all now
  • 00:02:15
    this is is going to be difficult for
  • 00:02:17
    some who believe in the inherency of the
  • 00:02:19
    Bible as many evangelicals do but in a
  • 00:02:22
    pluralistic society we have no choice
  • 00:02:26
    politics depends on our ability to
  • 00:02:28
    persuade each other of aims based on a
  • 00:02:31
    common reality it involves
  • 00:02:33
    compromise the art of what's possible
  • 00:02:37
    and at some fundamental level religion
  • 00:02:41
    doesn't allow for compromise it's the
  • 00:02:43
    art of the
  • 00:02:44
    impossible if God's spoken then
  • 00:02:46
    followers are expected to live up to
  • 00:02:49
    God's edicts regardless of the
  • 00:02:52
    consequences now to base one's own life
  • 00:02:55
    on such uncompromising commitments may
  • 00:02:57
    be Sublime but to base our policymaking
  • 00:03:01
    on such commitments would be a dangerous
  • 00:03:03
    thing and and if you doubt that let me
  • 00:03:05
    just give you an example we all know the
  • 00:03:07
    story of Abraham and Isaac Abraham's
  • 00:03:09
    ordered by God to offer up his only
  • 00:03:12
    son without argument he takes Isaac up
  • 00:03:15
    to the mountain top he binds them to the
  • 00:03:17
    altar raises his Knight prepares to act
  • 00:03:21
    as God
  • 00:03:22
    commanded now we know things worked out
  • 00:03:26
    you know God sends down Angel to
  • 00:03:29
    intercede at the very last minute
  • 00:03:31
    Abraham passes God's test of devotion
  • 00:03:34
    but it's fair to say that if any of us
  • 00:03:37
    leaving this church saw Abraham on the
  • 00:03:42
    roof of a building raising his knife we
  • 00:03:45
    would at the very least call the police
  • 00:03:48
    and expect the Department of Children
  • 00:03:50
    and Family Services to take Isaac away
  • 00:03:53
    from
  • 00:03:54
    Abraham we would do so because we don't
  • 00:03:58
    hear what abraam
  • 00:04:00
    hears we don't see what Abraham
  • 00:04:04
    sees and so the best we can do is act in
  • 00:04:07
    accordance with those things that we all
  • 00:04:10
    see and that we all hear be common laws
  • 00:04:14
    or are basic reasons so we have some
  • 00:04:17
    work to do here but I am hopeful that we
  • 00:04:20
    can bridge the gap that exists and
  • 00:04:22
    overcome uh the prejudices that all of
  • 00:04:25
    us to one degree or another bring to
  • 00:04:27
    this debate uh and I have faith faith
  • 00:04:30
    that millions of believing Americans
  • 00:04:31
    want that to have no matter how
  • 00:04:33
    religious they may be or may not be
  • 00:04:35
    people are tired of seeing Faith used as
  • 00:04:37
    a tool of
  • 00:04:41
    attack
  • 00:04:43
    they they don't
  • 00:04:45
    want they don't want Faith used to
  • 00:04:48
    belittle or to divide because in the end
  • 00:04:52
    that's not how they think about faith in
  • 00:04:54
    their own lives
