A thought by
Larry Osborne, (2009-04-04) from his book, Ten Dumb Things Smart Christians Believe (p. 74). The Crown Publishing Group. Kindle
Edition. (Click on the title to go to Amazon.com to buy the book.)
Larry says, “Underlying
the idea that we have no right to judge the beliefs and moral standards of
others is another widely held belief. It's the dogma that truth and morality
are relative— the conviction that there are no universal spiritual truths and
no universal moral standards. In other words, in the spiritual and moral
realms, two diametrically opposing viewpoints or standards can both be true at
the same time.”
But what
would happen if we took that view in other areas? Larry says, “Imagine an engineering student
arguing that his calculations don't matter as long as they work for him. Not
many of us would drive over a bridge he designed. Or imagine your doctor giving
you a handful of pills and telling you to take whichever ones ‘feel right.’” But that to many is different story. Is that true of you?
He
continues, “In every area of life where we can test outcomes, we know that some
things work and some don't. Some answers are correct and some aren't. The
belief that the spiritual and moral realms operate differently is an
unsupported leap in logic. It's a dark journey into an Alice in Wonderland
world where fanciful and wishful thinking replaces reality and common sense.”
It doesn’t make
sense does it?
