In today’s politically correct society we can’t always tell the truth
Political correctness at its core can be a good thing
It is not P.C. to call someone retarded or to use racial slurs when referring to people with a different skin color
And that’s good
But sometimes people try to hide the truth by using politically correct language
A few examples
Instead of saying “I’m lazy,” they say “I’m motivationally deficient.”
Instead of saying, “I’m fat,” they say “I’m horizontally-challenged.”
Or instead of saying “I’m short,” they say “I’m vertically challenged.”
Instead of saying, “I’m wrong,” they say, “I’m logically different.”
Instead of saying, “I’m ignorant,” they say, “I’m knowledge-impaired.”
Instead of saying, “I’m a liar,” they say, “I misspoke the truth.”
But the truth is the truth
It is always best to just tell the truth
Honesty and integrity should be characteristics of all Christians
