and these are just a few I could find quickly. If you did not believe me before, you should now. No? Well then you are either seriously in denial or just part of the problem. Remember the basic rules your mother taught you when you were young: Be nice to people if you want them to be nice back. Don't steal other peoples things. Don't hit. Always tell the truth, even when it hurts. Always do your best. These are things you just know right? Well, plain truths like those are under attack, heck, the truth in general is under attack. The relative crowd would pose the question "What is truth?" Or " Is there really absolute truth?" They would tell us that it is wrong to impose "your" truth on other people and that truth is only what you percieve it to be individually. Moral Relativism is the essence of no essence, a way to feel good about yourself without accepting the reality that, certain things, actions, beliefs, lifestyles, habits, etc... are always wrong. This is being taught at the highest levels in our universities as fact and as the norm. The hard reality is that it is difficult to look at your best friend, your favorite TV show, your pastor, your teacher or even some nice person you don't really know on the street and say "You are wrong.", or "What you are doing is wrong." So we invented Moral Relativity, and now we can all have our own litle micro moralities and still accept and tolerate everyone elses even if it does not line up with our own. Sounds great right? Wrong, unfortunately it implodes upon itself at the very moment you apply it. For instance in the below arguments it becomes obvious without much consideration at all that it just can'not stand on its own:

"Dialogue One

A: "Is Moral relativism itself only true relative to a perspective?"
B: "No."
A: "You have contradicted yourself, because Moral relativism says that all doctrines are true or false only relative to some perspective, but you just claimed that Moral relativism itself is true objectively."
B: "The doctrine of Moral relativism is the one exception to the doctrine that all claims are only relatively true."
A: "That seems ad hoc. What is so special about the doctrine of Moral relativism that makes it the one, unique doctrine that is immune from relativism?"

Dialogue Two

A: "Is Moral relativism itself only true relative to a perspective?"
B: "Yes."
A: "So there is a perspective relative to which Moral relativism is false."
B: "Yes, that follows logically from what I have said."
A: "So there is a perspective relative to which truth is not relative to a perspective?"
B: "Yes, that also follows from what I have said."
A: "You have now contradicted yourself. Relativism is based on the belief that there are a multitude of perspectives that are equally justified when considered objectively. But what you have now admitted is that there is a true perspective from which other perspectives are not equally justified when considered objectively."

What conclusion should you draw from all I have said here? Well, maybe none, maybe now you are just more aware of the world around you than you were 30 minutes ago. Maybe you will tell a friend, or get involved, who knows? My prayer for you as always is that God would touch your lives and keep you in His Grace and Love. Thanks for listening!!
