Deep dives
The Moral Capital Debate
Unbelievers are often seen as borrowing moral principles from Christianity while rejecting its foundational figure, Christ. This reliance on Christian principles stems from their effectiveness, as the inherent nature of God's world applies universally, regardless of belief. However, as non-Christians increasingly drift towards a worldview contrary to Christ, this inconsistency ultimately leads to chaos and moral degradation. The conversation highlights the necessity of understanding that embracing secular beliefs might not result in sustainable or just outcomes.
