Should Christians discuss secular things that affect society?

Ignorance may be bliss, but knowledge is power. Of course you should discuss anything you want. I don't remember anything in the bible that says one should remain ignorant.

When you look at Paris or Nicole, I get very sad. I think they need (needed) someone to care and know they are loved. Here is where I would flash a peace sign

tried to give ya rep points but had to spread them around...

I think the example of Jesus over and over again was that he was willing to discuss things that the "religious leaders" weren't.

Very good point! I agree.

[Virote]

Yes, things should be discussed for the reasons that Padgett, Irish, Dawn, Montana, Jeff, our thread starter, and others have given. Besides, is this question not being asked in a place where we are supposed to discuss such matters?

I sincerely hope so. Dialogue is perhaps the most powerful tool, or gift we have. It is not the exchange and discussion of ideas that frightens me, but rather, the lack thereof...

I totally agree.
