Life must be terribly annoying to human secularists. They are stuck with human beings that God created who possess certain built-in tendencies, and no amount of social engineering seems to eradicate those proclivities. No matter how many times the, “we know what’s best for you,” crowd insists that we should act according to their wisdom, we keep on being (gasp)—human.
This past December, an Iowa court ruled that dentist James Knight was legally entitled to fire a member of his staff because he found her attractive. He was worried that down the road the relationship might move in a direction that would harm both his and her marriages. His wife encouraged the move after discovering that the employee wore ‘distracting’ clothing and that platonic, though personal, emails had been exchanged outside of work.
Not surprisingly, while unable to attack the legal basis for termination, the court of public opinion erupted in outrage. Reviews on Yelp began to slam the dentist and the general tone was that even if legal, Dr. Knight’s actions were wrong. As one columnist put it, “How fundamentally unfair that, when guys prove incapable of regulating their urges, women get fired.” This would be exactly right if we were talking about robots instead of human beings.

God's Word Will Transform Your Life
by Rick Warren
Nothing can change the lives of people like the Bible. I’ve seen alcoholics and addicts get their lives sober and clean because they started reading the Bible. I’ve seen God’s Word change self-centered, narcissistic men who abuse and misuse women into godly husbands, wonderful dads, and upstanding citizens in the community.
