Episode notes
Secular Societies and Morality
- Secular societies often have lower crime rates initially due to their historical Christian heritage and homogeneity.
- However, increasing diversity reveals their lack of a system for resolving moral differences, leading to similar problems as other societies.
Resources for Morality
- Secularism lacks the resources for moral obligation and struggles to combat self-righteousness, unlike Christianity.
- Christianity offers a unique resource for overcoming self-righteousness through the example of Christ's forgiveness.
Amish Terrorism
- After 9/11, an article suggested that absolute moral truth leads to terrorism.
- Kathy Keller countered, asking if anyone had ever seen an Amish terrorist, highlighting the peaceful nature of their Christian beliefs centered on forgiveness.
