Walther Henry Medhurst, Congregational missionary to China, talks of getting around China. He says it would “contaminate” “the cause of God” to use friendly smugglers from the opium cartel to do so.
Do we operate from an opposite perspective, that the cause of God sanctifies any unethical or illegal thing? And posit those who complain as opposing the cause of God?
What social media platforms are your favorite Christian authors using?
@Loukas What totally gets me is the human rights activists and Christian writers who wave the flag of being in the know as to rising fascism can’t stay away from something that platforms them. Just thinking about journalists kicked off that site for reporting on a human rights thing (forget exact case). But no, their publishers need a follower count to justify next book deal.
@pteranodo Yes it undermines everything people say when they prioritise self-interest over making a difference. Unfortunately I think 'warning about rising fascism' is just another market for many writers.
