To: liberalism is suicide

I also believe that good and evil are absolute, that it is possible to definitively state “this is wrong”.
Unfortunately, those ‘in power’ think this is an outdated ‘quaint’ notion.
We’re gonna need lots of luck and prayer to get those guys out of office.

Actually, those “in power” still believe in right and wrong. It’s just that their vision is a photo negative.

White = black, wrong = right, truth = lies, etc.

Unfortunately, many people have been conditioned to think that conservatives regard things as being right and wrong because the Bible says they are; they're not 100% wrong, since there probably are some conservatives who see morality as coming from the Bible, but the reality of good and evil is much deeper. If something is wrong and the Bible says it is, it is not wrong because the Bible says it is; rather, the reason the Bible says it's wrong because it is.

People existed long before Moses transcribed the Ten Commandments. Right and wrong existed then, too.
