Much Christian debate is dominated by false choices. Christians support either school prayer or secularism.
Believers embrace either creationism or science.
Another example arose in response to my column on the widespread negative national attention to the Southern Baptist Convention. Friendly critics and others objected to my opinion editorial. They asserted what the SBC is doing with target-evangelism is acceptable, even biblically mandated. From my vantagepoint, these critics offered a false choice. My opposition to target-evangelism is grounded in the belief that it violates the Golden Rule.
