Within this eschatological view of politics, truth claims are no longer approached as facts to be adjudicated by applying old-fashioned rules of logic and evidence, but rather as tests of loyalty – spiritual loyalty. This produces, in the end, a kind of intellectual and spiritual blackmail: i.e. if you doubt or even question this specific truth claim, it must because you are not, in the end, a very good Christian.
…
I have already alluded to two of the troubling consequences of this error: Firstly, that it makes it impossible to investigate and evaluate facts , because the truth test is instead replaced with the loyalty test – i.e. the question to ask is not, “is this fact true,” but rather, “does it support our side ?” If the answer to the second question is “yes”, then the fact must be true.
You don’t have to abandon reason or side with anyone. Honesty is a lonely stance, but it’s immensely more rewarding than lies.It honestly shakes me… because I don’t want to side with the “liberals”. But I also can’t abandon reason.
