What is Your Worldview?

1. The government has a moral obligation to help the poorest and neediest members of our society.
2. Education is a fundamental (unalienable) civil right of every individual.
3. It is immoral for bank presidents to be making millions of dollars while the country as a whole suffers because of bad banking practices.
4. In every business transaction, somebody gains, and somebody loses.
5. If a country with less than 5% of the world’s population uses 25% of the world’s resources, steps should be taken to reduce that country’s consumption.
6. Criminals who commit crimes because of trauma or abuse in their childhood should be given special consideration in the application of penalties.
7. Among the nations, malnutrition, crime, poverty and other social ills are caused in part by the world’s burgeoning overpopulation.
8. The economy should be a free market, but the government may sometimes need to make sure that the prices of needed goods are fair.
9. The world is basically getting more evil and corrupt, and will continue to do so until Jesus comes.
10. Unless the government intervenes, the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer.
11. We should vote for Christian leaders so that when they are in power, they can get prayer and the Bible-reading back into public schools.
12. The Gospel should address poverty and injustice by altering the social systems that cause these ills.
13. The most Christian form of government would be one in which everyone shared equally with everyone else.
14. The Founding Fathers were mostly deists and agnostics who recognized the need to have separation of church and state.
15. Our government should make sure that every citizen receives the basic necessities for living.
16. Some subjects in school, such as science and math, are basically religiously “neutral”, that is, they do not have religious content or a Biblical purpose.
