Chesterton Perspectives

Let's see what G.K.C. has for us today:

""Impartiality is a pompous name for indifference, which is an elegant name for ignorance."

I think this is often the case, especially in our present society in which any and everything goes, everything is a matter of opinion, there is no good or evil, right or wrong. God through Isaiah says that a time will come when men will call good evil and evil good - we are certainly there. Yes, yes, we have been there before, but I'm not sure that we've been there in the global sense we are today. It is exponentially worse. We are disoriented in so many ways, within and without the professing church.

We are like turtles who refuse to come out of their shells, if we don't stick our heads out (literally and figuratively) we can remain "impartial", "indifferent", and ignorant - thus taking no risk. Except the risk of becoming like a turtle in our moral, ethical, spiritual, and cognitive functions. (With apologies to turtles).
