The Existence of Objective Moral Truths
Objective transcendent moral truths are often taken for granted, yet their existence is increasingly challenged in society. A significant portion of the adult population, both in the broader culture and within the church, struggles with the belief in these moral truths. For instance, statistics suggest that only about 22% of adults believe in objective moral truths, while 34% of churchgoers agree. This skepticism is particularly evident when debating complex moral dilemmas, revealing a lack of clarity about whether some actions, such as killing or lying, can ever be justified under any circumstances.
