In which our regular writers toss around subjects a little more
volatile than usual.
Earlier this month, the Cultural Research Center of Arizona
Christian University released its 11th and latest detailed analysis of the
results of its January American
Worldview Inventory 2020 survey. In a long list of bullet points, CRC
Director of Research George Barna noted that, among other disturbing trends, 44%
of respondents who self-identify as Christian said they believe the Bible’s teaching about abortion is
“ambiguous”, and that 34% said abortion is morally acceptable
if it spares the mother from financial or emotional discomfort or hardship.
Tom: The
Christian news website Not The Bee (“your source for headlines that should be satire,
but aren’t”) took the survey at face value and pushed
back hard with a salvo of scripture, and good for them.
