Relativism is Toxic

in #philosophy7 years ago

Stefan Molyneux hits it on the head. As a Christian myself, I remember hearing those talking about the dangers of Moral Relativism. Now some might say we are better than we were ages ago. And in some respects we are. However we cannot ignore the direction we are going. Everything is relative! Is it? A comment actually called this out, if everything is relative and there is no absolute truth, everything can't be relative because that in of itself would have to be true. And people scream that the Bible is contradictory.

I feel people have been feed a false idea, just like modern feminism, Marxism, and the idea that you can do whatever you want and no one can stop you. Do whatever feels good to you there's nothing wrong it that. Really? We've ignored the consequences of our actions. We have indeed been cut from our roots, and that is roots plural. Our history has been taken from us, our faith ridiculed and scorned. We were taught that there are no moral absolutes, yet there are still laws. And like Stefan said in the end, they are not trying to liberate you, they are trying to enslave you.

And the biggest kicker, they are simply proving the Christians right that the removal of God, morals and ethics would lead to destruction. If even an Atheist can see that, then 1) things are really bad, and 2) maybe it isn't to late to pull things back.
