What is this? I will be writing about a number of political issues over the life of this blog, perhaps indefinitely. I intend to write on each issue from two viewpoints in each post, or perhaps in separate posts if the issue is particularly large. These viewpoints? Secular and Christian. The Secular viewpoint will assume there is no such thing as God, and will be written as if to an Atheist audience. To draw my conclusion in these segments, I will be relying purely on legality, logic with almost universally accepted premises, and universally or almost universally accepted morality- simply argumentation that does not appeal to any religious mandates. The Christian viewpoint will assume Christianity is the true religion, and be written as if to a Christian audience. This does not mean I cannot use secular argumentation where appropriate in this section, it simply means that I will be focusing on proving my stance is Biblically morally correct.
Why am I doing this? Because, frankly, I find modern conservative 'Christian' politicians immensely upsetting. Modern 'Christian' conservatism has strayed so far from what is right (see what I did there?) and true, I need somewhere to write about it. However, this does not explain why I would include secular argumentation in my posts. I aim to include secular argumentation in my posts due to the separation of Church and State. Basically, the Government can't do something because the Bible says so- in order for my policy advocacy to be valid, it must be secularly true. (I intend to do a post regarding the separation of Church and State in the near future, maybe in multiple parts.)
Who am I? I am a super political minority! I'm a Christian, homeschooled, Liberal teenager. I don't see any more detail as particularly relevant to my posts, so I'll leave it at that for now.
