Good thoughts here from Mike Cosper. He writes:
There’s a lie that’s being spread from every level and layer of our culture. It begins in Kindergarten with sweet-smiling platitudes about getting along, and ends in institutions of higher learning in programs of all stripes – Sociology, Psychology, Philosophy, Literature, History, and Religion. It’s present in our civic ceremonies, in the language of our news media, and in the stories being told on sitcoms and dramas.
The lie is this: we live in an age of tolerance, diversity, and without moralistic absolutes.
Now this is nothing that Tim Keller hasn’t said (much more brilliantly than I, for certain), but it’s come to my mind this morning as I read the comments section on the Courier-Journal’s story about our 10-year anniversary. The vitriol runs loud and proud, with accusations of fundamentalism, homophobia and misogyny flying like rocks at an Old Testament stoning.
If there’s anything our post-Christian western ethos is not, it’s tolerant.
Read the rest. I couldn't agree more.
