Travel broadens. If I had been at home I would have missed this news item of national significance. I was taking advantage of our motel’s breakfast which had the down side that I was forced to listen to the morning news. At least it was Fox instead of CNN.
The news had to do with a man who was chased and tossed by a bison. Most of us would have called it a buffalo but tha is not technically collect. Somehow Bison Bill Cody would not have the same ring. It was full of great advice like stay away from buffalo bulls during mating season.
The greatest line was the guy from the government who told us, “You have to give them respect.” No. Woke choice of words. I don’t give a bison respect. I just keep my distance and make allowance for him being an animal. That is a long way from giving respect.
Our language is being attacked by the deconstructionist philosophy which is based on removing meaning from words. It was rampannt in the textbooks I had to use when I was teaching. It is migrating into common language. When you take “respect” and apply it to an animal you remove the idea of looking up to values and powers that are above you. It is a first step to removing God from His throne and sin from our voaculary.
Respect that which deserves it. Run away from blind animal rage.

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.
Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.
