There is Hope!

How can one make a difference in this world?

What are the core truths around which a culture can huddle in times of chaos?

Where can one go when they are disillusioned at best, and despondent at worst, with the seeming inconsistencies in a "politically correct" world?

These are only a couple of questions that come to this authors mind when I review the events of the past few days. No matter how you cut it, the massacre in Blacksburg, VA reveals a terrible void in our cultural matrix. I submit that the gaping hole in our social fabric begins and ends with the philosophy of relativism.

There can be no doubt that the pathetic actions of a deluded young man were wholly his responsibility. Regardless of the cultural influences, one must be accountable for the choices that he or she makes.

Relativism, birthed by Secular Humanism, is a philosophy that effectively removes the ability to place blame for any action. As such, to declare that something is either good or evil becomes impossible. The argument of a relativist would be, "What is evil to you may be good for someone else." This circular reasoning condemns a culture to anarchy.

One must begin to face the fact that this world has some basic truths that are inviolable. We must define what is good and what is evil. To do so requires that a society envelope themselves in a system that does not vary with whim or caprice; a system that is founded on inalienable rights endowed by a Creator. Such began this grand experiment called America.
