Last Thursday in class we had a discussion about the Church that posts the upsetting sermon topics. As we were discussing our reactions it seemed that most people reacted the same way. Most people said they drove by, were upset, and called the church ignorant for their posts. Here is my question, maybe the churches ignorance is not the problem, maybe it is our indifference. Elie Wiesel, the Holocaust survivor and author of "Night" says "The opposite of love is not hate, it is indifference." Why had most people in our class frown upon the churches ignorance but done nothing to cure the ignorance? Why had none of us gone to the sermon, preacher, or done something besides just driving by? If this really frustrates us why are we not doing anything? Elie Wiesel also says, "What happens anywhere effects us everywhere."
