A forum for discussing matters of moment, from a curmudgeonly perspective. (The ideas posted here do not necessarily represent those of any organization with which I am a part). Rude and insulting remarks will not be published, but civil disagreement is welcome.
I just listened to your sermon on moral relativism. I think that you did a fine job of addressing the shortcomings of moral relativism, particularly with regards to its ultimate regress into nihilism which I agree is an ideology or perspective inconsistent with what most rational people would hold to be true and consistent with the human experience. I think that you are mistaken in creating the impression that contemporary culture/s outside of Evangelical Christianity have largely embraced or are guided by moral relatisvism. I came upon an article that you might find interesting that approaches this matter from a different perspective. If you are interested you can read it here:
Here's the MP3 file:

I yanked it off their RSS feed.
Bless you Wintry Knight.
ReplyDeleteI wish more churches and ministries would realize that not posting the direct link to the MP3 harms them more than a flashy media player helps them.
Hey Doug!

ReplyDeleteAll the polling date I see says relativism is common, but I will try to get to the article.
Thank you for your comments. Am slow in responding, because I just got back from a week in Hungary. Best, DG
