A few words on Relativism

[otjm]

I agree with your first paragraph.

As to your second, while I might agree with the results, I think there are more, and some serious, reasons we have moral relativism. and some of it seems to get down to a “chicken and egg” conundrum; but the results are the same; moral relativism.

I think I was motivated to start this thread because of some interactions I had recently with some loved ones.

I felt compelled to describe an unfortunate mentality I see a lot of, including in highly intelligent people whom I have respect for. I further wanted to make a judgment of that mentality as not merely being incomplete, so to speak, but fainthearted.

We are blessed that we have the privilege to live in a country whose supreme governing document establishes the right to worship freely.

I am Roman Catholic and believe it is the true Faith. I recite the Nicene Creed every Sunday and HDO. I recieve the Eucharist if I am not conscience of any mortal sin on my part. I hope and pray that others who profess the catholic faith also do so.

But my purpose in sort of ranting in my original post was simply to say that we should not let the fact of our plural society to render us dazed and confused about objective truth.

Given what we’re dealing with today, and the left, Scripture says it all… HERE
