あらすじ・解説
The provided text comes from an article by Jamin Bradley, a pastor and theologian, who critiques common theological platitudes often used to justify political inaction or to avoid personal responsibility for political choices. Bradley argues that these platitudes, such as "God's not surprised by any of this," "God's still in control," and "God chooses political leaders," are problematic because they can be used to absolve individuals from moral obligation and to endorse even harmful political actions. He urges readers to be critical of such statements and to engage actively in political discourse, even when it is challenging or uncomfortable.
