To address this confrontational and mean-spirited public debate, this essay offers some "Golden Rules" for civil discourse, patterned after Jesus's commandments: "In everything do to others as you would have them do to you" (Matt 7:12) and "You shall love your neighbor as yourself" (Lev. 19:18; Matt 22:40; Mark 12:34). |
