You said the Scriptures don't talk about balance, and did so because your interpretation of balance was different from mine. You make the false (in my opinion) assumption that consuming news, even from a conservative source, is bad and improper. I say staying misinformed is dangerous, you think it's being Godly. We clearly differ on this. That has been established quite thoroughly I think in this thread, and now I'm tired from having to continue establishing it.
You don't wish to remain informed, and that's your right as an American -- a right that was secured by people, largely Christian, who were politically engaged and who had to inform of the public of their views to gain support for them. But, I digress.
I do wish to remain informed, and because it is no longer liberal POV vs. conservative POV, but now outright Leftist lies from the likes of CNN, the Washington Post, NY Times, and others, I cannot listen to them anymore. I go to sources whom I have at least some reason to trust, and keep up with what's happening through them. Is praying for discernment through all of that a bad idea? I don't think so.
I think that's wise, you think that's worldly. Whatever.
We are here to make disciples, and bless our fellow human as much as possible. This happens through engagement with the world. You cannot do those things if you are disengaged, and it's difficult to know how to engage society at large, and affect the good, if you don't know the issues. Common sense becomes common nonsense if you are misinformed. Then, you cannot engage properly. And, how does that glorify God?
We all will have to answer for what we did, and our good and bad works will be tested by fire. It will be made clear then. In the mean time, our positions have been made clear here repeatedly. It's a waste of time to continually clarify them. My tires are getting bald.
Talk amongst yourselves.
