Scientists – don’t go full heathen if you want to get into the kingdom of heaven!
In these unguarded comments to his religious audience at
the Francis Asbury Society, Judge Philpot reveals that he categorizes people
into at least three classes:
1. Those firmly on our side (the side of good), like his
devout audience
2. Those who are basically good (they “just don’t know
god”), but somewhat misguided because they don’t equivocally share all our
strongly held opinions and values. The “total heathen” scientists in this
example
3. Others (on the side of evil) – our enemies who can be
further divided into degrees of evil when necessary
Even if Judge Philpot can accurately identify those who
belong in category 3, this method of sorting spells trouble for those in
category 2 (arguably a large proportion of the population) who find themselves
in his court, especially if the adverse party belongs in category 1.
Tim Philpot is a judge in Fayette County Family Court,
Lexington Kentucky. This video is an extract of his public speech given to the
Francis Asbury Society on September 8th, 2016 in Wilmore, Kentucky during which
he describes his experiences in family court.
