Pastor Rick Warren
Ch. 6 Where Do You Stand?
1. What effect might farm programs have on rural residents who are not farmers?
a. I don’t think small farms deserve more or less when it comes to collecting subsidies. Of course larger farmers are going to receive more. They produce more product therefore they’re at a higher risk. It is a shame that small farms don’t feel they receive enough but in reality, the larger the farm, the more they produce. Organic foods, Fruits, Vegetables, Grains, etc… are always going to be at a high demand. With that being said, larger farms who produce more should receive a higher pay out.
2. How easy do you think it is for farmers to buy health insurance—and what effect might that have on their income?
a. To be honest, I don’t really know. I don’t really know how one is analyzed when qualifying for health insurance. If I had to take a guess, I would say a little difficult. But if the farmers were backed by the government, then obviously it would be easy. As for their income, who knows? Depends on how many family member the farmer has on the insurance. Depends on what type of coverage the farmer chooses to get.
Ch. 7
1. Pastor Rick Warren, author of The Purpose Driven Life, accepts that homosexuality is a sin, but he also emphasizes his beliefs in God’s love for all people. Why might some members of the religious right reject Warren’s Formula?
a. I feel that everyone has their own opinion when it comes to beliefs in religion and God, even within the same religion. It sounds like Warren is just going by what the bible tells him. And he’s simply stating on what he believes. Some member may reject him because maybe they don’t understand him. Maybe they were raised practicing a different religion.
2. American-style culture conservatism is not popular in much of Europe. Many of these nations are also facing declines in their populations. Some conservatives would argue that these facts connected. Is this argument reasonable?
a. In a sense, these
