Thanks for the insight. Many people think like he does. I sense they have a feeling of virtue in believing in everything, not making a judgment. There is One God seems “narrow.” All I was trying to do is get him to realize the non-rationality of this type of “anything-is-true” viewpoint. We can’t live our lives that way on other levels, like “if I drop this egg, will it land on the floor or the ceiling?” It’s one or the other. So, it’s really sad that this keeps them from knowing the One True God and the Only Savior. Happy Easter to all!

....”I sense they have a feeling of virtue in believing in everything, not making a judgment.”......

To no surprise as this is surely the safest position one can have who has difficulty knowing or explaining why they believe what they do.

Additionally, it's the “trendy” position of our day....as “tolerance” has not only changed it's definition but “political correctness” has replaced it to the point that people don't dare to say what they believe in case they should cause offense to others.

So as a result...it's fast becoming that political correctness is ‘paralyzing debate’ so that truth concepts cannot be talked about at all....let alone challenge falsehood.

It's really more than sad Nanny, I'm convinced it's deadly for the very reason you spoke of. .....but as you know, we can never underestimate our roles in clearing the obstacles in anothers journey to the One true Creator God....He uses us to remove those obstacles along their path....a light shone here, a seed sown there,as is written, maybe all that is needed to move the seeker or skeptic one step further.

Thank you for your posts.
