A Secular World Government

 

        While many people think that it would be a great idea to have one global secular government, it would not be that great. In order for there to be one world government, everyone would have to get along together, and that everyone will have tolerance and a universal moral awareness. This is not really possible, because people have varied opinions and moral values. Also, it would be rather difficult for everyone to tolerate everyone else’s problems. It’s just not possible.  Another problem with one world government is with religion. If there was no religion allowed at all, those who do have religious beliefs would be terribly offended and would most likely rebel, causing major problems. Also, the various cultures in the world would make it very difficult to put them all into one. For example, the culture and customs of Africa or South America are very different than those in the United States. The cultures of our world vary to greatly, and trying to make them all one would not end pleasantly.  A Secular World Government would only be possible in a perfect world, which our world is not. Our world will not be perfect until the return of Christ, and no man can predict when that will be. So until that time comes, it is probably best that we do not have one world government.

Abortion: Teen Pregnancy

           While many teenage girls who have babies do tend to leave school, receive bad parental care, rely on public assistance, develop health problems, or get a divorce; this does not happen to every teenage girl who gets pregnant. Some girls have families who support them and help them out. Some are also able to continue going to school and do not develop health problems. Also, some are able to keep a relationship with their child’s father.  Even when a teenage girl does have problems or changes in her life because of her pregnancy that does not mean that she should be aloud to get an abortion. Part of being a mother involves having to change parts of your life. The reason so many teenage girls have problems is because they are probably not mature enough to have a baby yet. They don’t want to give up their social lives or other freedoms to care for their baby, so many of them just get an abortion. While it may seem like just a simple thing, it is not. It is not the baby’s fault that its mother was careless. By having their baby aborted they are taking away a human life, not just a blob of tissue. The girl needs to accept the consequences of her actions and realize that there is in fact a small human growing inside of them, not just a blob of tissue.

            A lot of girls would just say that it does not matter if they dispose of the fetus because it’s not like they are killing a living human being. This is not true. The fetus is a living human being; it is developing and growing, just like a young child that has already left its mother’s womb. Also, just removing the child from the womb does not magically turn it into a human.

            Many teenage girls who do have abortion mainly do it out of their own personal comfort. They do not want o accept responsibility, and just abort their child. It would not make sense (at least in our society) for a parent to have their toddler killed just because they are tired of raising it. A fetus I still a human being, so killing it is like killing a toddler. Just because a teenage girl has gotten pregnant, and this pregnancy will cause her to make some changes in her life, does not make it okay for her to take a human life. A human life is a precious thing, and just as we would not take a life of a two year old who is growing both mentally and physically, so is a fetus in  woman’s womb.

           

Law #4

          In this article, equality is making sure that everyone is treated the same and that no one and nothing is put higher above all the others. Justice is when this equality is accomplished. The feminists and minorities feel that they are not treated equally with the rest of the United States, so to them justice is when they are given equal rights to all of those who have oppressed them, and when they are no longer oppressed. Along with feminism and racism, the article also talks about the equality of all society. It says that “[if] the categories that currently divide and separate people—including sexual, racial, political, and class categories—are broken down, people would be able to share more values and to create a more harmonious society”. That would be the justice, having everyone equal so that the society could grow as one.

          However, this article does not take into account that not everyone is always willing to get along. The Muslims would not be willing to give up their religion in order to make some Cosmic Humanists happy, nor would Christians abandon their faith just so Marxists would get along with them. While it does seem like a good idea for everyone in the world to get rid of their prejudices and live together in peace and harmony, this will never happen. Man is too corrupt and too selfish.

          Christian’s should view justice as obeying the laws which God has given them. Deuteronomy 10:12-19, Jeremiah 22:3, Micah 6:8 and James 1:27 all speak of doing what is “just and right” according to God. God is the ultimate authority and has given us the Divine Law to follow. So, justice to the Christians is following God’s law.
