Faith And Courage

Some people go on about “shameless proselytizing.” Why should professing one's faith be something shameful? People profess all sorts of things. I see no reason at all why people should be doing less to profess their Christian faith than they would their faith in political correctness. That something is religious rather than ideological does not make it any less valid.

Then there is the idea that spiritual feelings are something that should be kept private. Once again, I see no reason for that at all. Spiritual feelings can give birth to all sorts of valid endeavors. There have been many people whose faith lead them to do valuable things. If they kept it private, they would not have made the contributions that they did.

I have also heard it said that religion is something that only a coward would bring up. I see no reason for that at all. If you believe in God, then you should bring it up. There is nothing at all cowardly about it. Many people of God are very brave, and they are much more brave than many who are involved in political correctness.

Is faith something that one should keep private? I do not believe that it is. Once again, faith has lead many people to make meaningful contributions. If you believe in God, then it is rightful that you should credit God publicly. And there is nothing shameful or cowardly about it.
