I also think that either/or black-and-white thinking gets us into a lot of trouble. Or at least it has historically. The world doesn't divide neatly into up or down. It's a Western "thing".

No I believe it is a Biblical thing. God is clear there is good and there is evil. The lines are unclear in some areas, but only because man is unable to distinguish the mind of Christ in the fallen state.
Morality is NOT relative. That's exactly why it's becoming less a Western (for Europe's essentially gone), then an American thing, and within a generation of, "It's based on my experience," and
feelings, who knows whether we, as a culture will any longer be capable of the discernment.
Good and evil. Right and wrong.
I might hope that you would never have to know how simple these things really are. But that would be contributive of the very crisis we face. That's what it's likely going to take. Pray God it's not then too late.
