The Wrong Turn (Good article on absolute truth vs relativism)

We have a society in which one can scream about a "war on women" but support passionately a group that excels at subordinating, torturing, mutilating, raping, and terrifying its women from their childhood. We have a society that has frozen in the face of an enemy so horrifying that we can't even work up the courage to publicly condemn them, let alone commit to war. We have a society that has no moral boundaries, other than avoiding offending another person's sensibilities. We have no problem with killing inconvenient babies in spite of its genocidal results, no problem with sexual promiscuity regardless of the physical disease and family turmoil that causes, and worst of all, we no longer expect our leadership to be truthful people of integrity.

As the Clinton campaign drags itself forward I am amazed at the number of her supporters - both public figures and private acquaintances of mine -- who are content to make excuses for her habitual, pathological duplicity. I recently asked a Facebook Clintonite how she dealt with the proven dishonesty of her hero. She replied that she "just didn't look at it that way." ??? Such a nonsensical response leaves me speechless.

If we decide that truth is what we want it to be, we can come to those conclusions. There is a problem with that, however. Sooner or later reality will come crashing through the door and it will have to be dealt with. That's where we are right now. Grendel is splintering the gates and we can no longer just pass the joint, sing loudly and pretend he's not out there. He is.

When you give up on absolute truth there is no objective right or wrong in which case the ends will always justify the means. If the ends are “right” then the means can’t be “wrong”. Ever. This is the state of modern liberal progressivism.

GREAT article.

One money quote: “We can be good, but we don’t start that way. What baby has ever given a rip that his mother hasn’t had a full night’s sleep since he was born?”

Our society has no problem with two men, leaving their wives and children, for Brokeback homosexual relationships.

We have no problem with Christian Bakers who only do church weddings being sued and put out of business.

Christian ethics are being thrown out for the survival of the fittest. God help us; America needs Repentance - turning away from these Abominations and returning to God who gave us this land.
