This medium of information sharing known as the internet is strange, and very much so. Here, unchecked and unabashed, people may air their opinions and views regarding any subject that enters into their brain-box. Sadly, and more often than not, these opinions go unnoticed and fade into oblivion without significance. Why should anyone else out there care about the opinion of someone they don't even know? How do we gauge the validity of an opinion and weigh it against the opinions of those we know? An opinion carries validity when it is poignant, relevant, educated, intelligent and ethical. These are the standards by which I attempt to formulate my own opinions and perspectives. As a Christian my opinions are often weighed against the ethics and moral standards of scripture. As an academic my opinions are weighed against the opinions of my peers and of other learned folk. These factors are what make my opinions worth a look at the very least. The fact that my opinions are fluid and dynamic alone are reason enough to engage me in dialogue when an opinion of mine strikes you as problematic.
All that to say, I am going to try to update this blog more often, and I hope you, my readers, will engage my opinions with your own in the comments or on Facebook or Twitter. (@davidsheise)
Thank you, my readers, for taking the time to read my opinions. Stay tuned!
DH out.
