Dangerous Naivete?
October 25, 2006 by Laura | Trackback URI
The whole concept behind philophronos blogging was a “pay it forward” variation where Christian political bloggers would set the example for civil political discourse. Perhaps it’s dangerously naive to think that anyone – even other Christians – might pick up this ball and run with it. I know that I have struggled – and ultimately passed up – posting on several items where the temptation to be uncivil would have overtaken me. 
But this Liberty Mutual commercial reminded me that whether or not the idea meets with any success, it is a good idea. I’d rather be dangerously naive than cynical.
Like an aging monument, democracy itself is crumbling.
I think it’s a great idea, personally. The only reason I haven’t accepted your invitation to join you in this endeavor is because I’m not politcally minded enough to do so. I don’t post about current politics…usually, anyways. I just don’t know enough to do so.
The criteria doesn’t include politics being your main blog subject – if you’d like to join, please do. In any event, thanks for the encouragement.
