Thoughts on the video I posted a few days ago:
How can we be unified by principles and values if there is no objective source of these principles and values? If we are not Christian, Jewish, or Muslim in our national structure, what happens when these viewpoints clash?
In the conflict between worldviews - in the absence of God, since most do Him lip service but refuse to believe He has any real power - who becomes the judge of right and wrong?
All we are left with at this point, with God out of the picture and all religions equal, is government. Should civil government be the "solution" to moral, economic, and societal problems? Should officials of a government be free to interpret the law in a way that reflects their own worldview, or should they remain true to the vision of the founders of that government? If there is no objective truth, how can these questions even be answered?
