Thots On Biases

Do you have a bias?  Don't know?  Let me help you.  You do.  If you have an opinion, you have a bias.  If you believe some things to be good others bad, you have a bias.  But are biases all bad?  No.  Some biases are good.  Some are good for our health, preferring to eat and do things that help our bodies.  Some are good for our minds, preferring to do things that keep us mentally stimulated.  Some biases are good for our souls, keeping immorality, spiritual impurity, and unholiness out of our lives.  Some biases are good for society - i.e., being biased against crimes, and calling socially deviant behavior a crime (i.e., murder, adultery, rape, thievery, etc.).  Some biases are good, and all of us have some biases.

 

But some biases are bad - especially when they call bad "good" and good "evil."  For example, the socially deviant behaviors of our day are now proclaimed by those biased toward them as good are called good even though logic, history, and the Bible call them "evil."  Likewise, these same people are biased "against" logic, history, and the Bible, calling them "evil."  And every society that embraced such biases have fallen - the U. S. and Europe is not too far behind in falling.  These same folks call a peaceful constitution in Iraq a measure that must be defeated and terrorism must be supported (The Shiite Muslims want peace, the Sunni's want terrorism, and they lost the vote for the referendum.  But if you ask the Washington Post (Sunnis Failed to Defeat Iraq Constitution), this was a bad thing.  Peace in the Middle East means that G. W. Bush, conservatives, and Christians have won the war - the war in Iraq and the war for decency and peace.  The bias of the Washington Post is clear - and it is a bad bias.
