Come on... You can't expect me to buy into your whole Absolute Truth rhubarb?

Some people argue that there are no absolute truths. There is no such thing as an absolute Right or an absolute Wrong. Let’s look at some ‘aggressive’ applications of this concept:

1. Imagine a day when students can answer technical subjects like Mathematics or Physics with whichever answer that they think is correct (including wonderfully subjective answers), and that the teachers will still have to give them an ‘A’? Think metaphysics, man.

2. That there is no such thing as Law and Order, since people can do as they think is best- what I feel is right is right; whereas what You feel is right,  etc. Since humankind has the ability to reason and to think rationally, why should we be subject to illogical laws or things which we think are impossible to believe because we can’t see/hear/touch/smell it?

3. Incest, murder, rape, abortion and torture will not be ‘morally’ wrong, since man determines what is ‘right’ and ‘wrong’, therefore, if given the circumstances, these ‘crimes’ are no longer ‘crimes’, but ‘accidents’ or symptoms of psychological dysfunction, and all we need is a little rehabilitation. Victims? Life’s unfair. Get over it.

4. No one can charge me for anything. No one SHOULD charge for anything that I do, say or THINK, since I am my own judge and set my own rules. Whoever said that I should be bound to anyone’s self-imposed laws. Why should I listen to what you have to say or expect me to do? Even if you are very knowledgeable on the subject, who cares? Your voice/face annoys me. 

5. A man can marry an elephant; a woman can have multiple live-in partners with dogs, cats, or any other animal. What’s so wrong about ‘loving the animals’? Its just a matter of getting used to, that’s all.

6. The environment is neutral. It can be destroyed. Or not. Up to you lah. 

7. Do as you like. Do as you please. And no one can/should say anything against that.

From a Christian perspective, it is the Church that has failed in its role to show society what Truth really is. So in a way, we cannot blame people for thinking and believing in the way they do. God, have mercy on our saltless Church.
