In this culture, it's hard for many to admit there are clear black and white lines in regard to "right" and "wrong". Is there really right and wrong, and who decides? The idea that one thing is right for you, and another is right for me is absurd. Let's say that I hold the belief that it's right for me to take a loaded pistol, put it to your head and pull the trigger. Would that be right, or alright with you? Or, let's say that it's just fine by me to take someone's baby out of their arms and harm the child. Wouldn't that be "wrong?" Of course it would. Many would hold to the belief, "There are no absolutes!" That statement, though, is even an absolute statement. Those that hold this view certainly aren't being intellectually honest. There is right and wrong, and there are absolute truths we can hold to. If we get beyond the political aspect of these topics and get to the core, we discover the reality of this. |
