We have become pragmatists – a people who decide that what is right is what works. Pragmatism is an awful, unbiblical philosophy. A practical or pragmatic implementation of biblically-determined morality is fine! Philosophical pragmatism is not that. It is determining what is or is not right based upon what works.
That is the paradigm for modern technologic medicine. We choose to see only the physical, material, most atomistic aspect of our problems. The spiritual roots we don't choose to see.
Excerpt from talk given at Westminster Presbyterian Church
