I’m an IT guy and a science geek. I understand AI, quantum theory, etc.

However, I appreciate (again, broadly speaking) that the left generally starts with a basic foundation of trust and and empathy and human dignity — sometimes even in its overreach. But at least from that basis, dialogue can happen.

However, the left is also uncomfortable, for different reasons. The “to each his own” moral laxity is not sustainable to a well functioning society.

Hold onto hope. Keep your chin up. Do what is right. Throw off fear and anger and hate. Love always. Point to Jesus.
