I was listening to On Being on NPR this morning on the way to work and evolutionary biologist David Sloan Wilson made a statement that if your beliefs do not actively shape your actions then they are false. This resonated with me. It is really easy for us all to stay comfy in our homes behind our keyboards and type about our virtues, folk, and Gods. Hell, I have been guilty of this at times. As descendants of our Gods we must strive to not just give lip service to our faith but live it.
Our faith doesn't proselytize, instead the rest of the world must see in our words and deeds the veracity of our beliefs. As such, I am going to try and be less of a shut in and attempt to be more active in the community. I don't know how much my job will let me do this, but it's worth a try.
