This paper is related to the topic of dual morality These topics are important for the Christian to consider as they reflect very real challenges to Christian ethics.

Businessman Dan Drew, founder and namesake of Drew Theological Seminary, smartly summed up this philosophy over a century ago:

Sentiment is all right up in the part of the city where your home is. But downtown, no. Down there the dog that snaps the quickest gets the bone. Friendship is very nice for a Sunday afternoon when you’re sitting around the dinner table with your relations, talking about the sermon that morning. But nine o’clock Monday morning, such notions should be brushed aside like cobwebs from a machine. I never took any stock in a man who mixed up business with anything else.
