Absolute Moral Truths at the Evangelical Outpost
Visit the interesting discussion on absolute moral truths at the Evangelical Outpost. Both the original post and discussion are worth perusing. Here is a useful excerpt:
The secular postmodern world believes that God doesn’t exist. Ontologically speaking he possesses no Being and, obviously, no knowledge. Postmoderns do, generally speaking, believe that humans exist. Since epistemology follows ontology, humans are the ones that determine what is true and what it not true. In fact, since humans exist individually rather than collectively their epistemic standards are also individual.
In other words there is no outside standard by which they can determine if something is objectively true. It is either “true for them” or “false for them.” (Two or more humans might collectively agree, but that is a decision they make rather than a standard imposed upon them from the outside.)
