Lying
and moral relativism are rampant in America today. Consider the problem with
both of them. If relativism is true, then lying along with stealing and murder
are all perfectly acceptable as well. I'm indebted to Matt Slick for this
illustration.
"The
setting: A thief is casing a jewelry store so he can rob it. He has entered
it to check out any visible alarm settings, locks, layout, etc. In the process,
he unexpectedly got involved in a discussion with the owner of the jewelry
store whose hobby is the study of philosophy and he believes that truth and
morals are relative. "So,"
says the owner, "everything is relative. That is why I believe that all
morals are not absolute, and that right and wrong is up to the individual to
determine within the confines of society. But there is no absolute right and
wrong." "That
is a very interesting perspective," says the thief. "I was brought up
believing there was a God, and that there was right and wrong. But I abandoned
all of that and I agree with you that there is no absolute right and wrong, and
that we are free to do what we want."
The
thief leaves the store, returns that evening, and breaks in.....There's Much More.....
