Doing the RIGHT THING

Tonight I will be teaching Applied Ethics to a group of Floridians. I have to say Floridians, well, because I live in Florida. To be up front, Florida is a special place. Jews, Christians and secularists all make their home here.

Pretty much the only thing that unifies us as a State is our prosperity. Each weekend, I will travel to the Sembler-financed BayWalk restaurant and movie complex to listen to free rock & roll, jazz & Jimmy Buffet-style concerts. Sometimes I even eat Italian where the financial "big wigs" eat (for example movers & shakers politically). We are a prosperous city and state here in St. Petersburg, Florida.

But is "prosperity" enough? Does it matter for instance if someone is engaged in homosexual acts, especially in public bathrooms as is a recent problem in Ft. Lauderdale? Does it matter if we are at War and people want to kill us as Americans because we refuse to submit to Islam? (Osama bin Laden's recent tape essentially told the U.S. to convert to Islam thereby showing how global domination in the name of Islam is his true intent).

Well, although the United States of America will continue on in our prosperity, there is now a new season upon us. We must set aside the sinful practices that have crept into our national psyche. We must once again say unequivocally that homosexual acts are wrong. We must once again not submit to Islam as a Nation State. We must once again reclaim our Judeo-Christian morality.

Only this way, will we as a nation "do the RIGHT THING."

Blessings in Jesus,
