I just know redistribution of wealth is morally right! Maybe I can’t clearly articulate why. I don’t hate the wealthy, but I care for the plight of the poor, and that outweighs my discomfort for perhaps unjustly imposing greater burdens on the wealthy. We must do something for the poor and redistribution seems to be the most expedient solution. We spend too much time arguing this issue. I‘m a compassionate, caring human being and I want action now.
I just know gay marriage is morally wrong! Every fiber of my being tells me I’m correct, but every word out of my mouth betrays my cause. I argue about child rearing. I argue about stability of relationships. I argue about commitment. In every case straight couples undermine my arguments with their behaviors. I concede I can’t argue my case rationally, and yet I faithfully hold onto my views. Where’s the protection of my beliefs, which are founded on faith and not on rationality?
