David Opderbeck: Judge Walker and the conflict between definitions of ?harm? and ?sin?

By Alliance Alert

ADVERTISEMENTS

David Opderbeck writing at Law, Religion, and Ethics: "The opinion surreptitiously establishes a conflict between faith and science by suggesting that a social-scientific definition of 'harm' must trump any theological concept of harm. Judge Walker, it seems to me, clearly wishes to pour out moral approbation on Christianity for employing the category of 'sin' in private sexual matters. To do so, he assumes a metaphysical stance that waves away any concerns beyond the here and now. But when Christian churches issue pastoral statements about sin, they assume an anthropology that extends beyond the world we presently inhabit."
