Misuse of Noble Pursuits

DAVID INGRAM

Throughout history, leaders have committed atrocities in the name of religion. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean that all religion is inherently evil. A parallel can be drawn with science, where unethical experiments like the Tuskegee syphilis study have been conducted in the pursuit of knowledge.

The issue lies not with religion or science themselves, but with flawed individuals who use these noble pursuits to justify their immoral actions. Often, it’s a lack of morality and an overwhelming desire for success that drives such wrongdoing.

It’s interesting that these individuals may not always be consciously deceiving others; they might be blind to their own malevolent actions.

Consider what is written in Proverbs 21:2, “Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the heart.”
