People who deny objective morality and insist it’s either personally or culturally relative are forced to brush off this and all kinds of abject evil. Moral relativism doesn’t allow for moral judgments. This is why worldview matters.
Once you acknowledge something like this is evil—no matter where it happens or why—you’ve accepted at least one objective, universal standard of right and wrong. Your next question to explore is, “Who gets to determine what that universal standard is & why?”
Can’t have a standard without a standard bearer. Can’t have a universal moral law without a universal moral law giver. Answering “why are some things universally wrong?” with “just because” doesn’t cut it. WHY are some things always wrong and who says?
The materialist worldview doesn’t account for these questions, because it deals only with material facts. But not all facts are material. Some facts—like the one that says what this video describes is evil—are moral. But where do we get this idea of a moral fact?
The answer, of course, is that in order to believe in a transcendent moral law, which we all do, whether or not we admit as much, there must be a source of the transcendent moral law. A standard bearer who has—dare I say— created us with the knowledge of it.

Hey @ejdickson - Thanks for your email. Happy to be included in your Rolling Stones piece. Quick question: Do you still believe pedophilia is a “sexual orientation” that can be satisfied by child sex dolls? Please let me know by EOD tomorrow. twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImageImageImage
Considered writing a thoughtful response but decided it’s not worth it. Their “transphobia is a right-wing grift that pays” angle is obvious, and they’d never let go of it, no matter how sincere and convincing my rebuttal was. But, for anyone else:
I’ve been writing and talking about gender ideology since at least 2018. Dedicated a segment of my book to it, which I finished in 2019. Of course, as the movement has picked up momentum and entered into the mainstream, there has been more reason to discuss, analyze, and refute… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

When Robin DiAngelo says it, it’s inspirational and she gets paid $20k. When Scott Adams says it, it’s racist and he loses his job
Black people should get away from white people, but if white people are in white-only spaces, it’s because they’re white supremacists 😀 Does anyone want to take a guess as to why so many people who posted black squares in 2020 have abandoned their “anti-racist” journey
It’s because it’s a legalistic, unrelenting religion with no redemption or grace, no chance of salvation. The rules aren’t even consistent. People will play along with the “do better” trash for a little while, but eventually the sanctification-without-justification stuff gets old

Why does it take longer than a day to count votes in blue areas? Probably because corrupt people are appointed to run the elections. Look at Harris County, TX - huge county trying to oust the liberal judge largely responsible for the uptick in violent crime. Who was appointed? 1/
His name is Clifford Tatum. He ran elections in DC for years, despite complaints of corruption & that elections under his watch were a “disaster” and like voting “in a third world country.” He also owes over $100k in income tax, so that’s cool. washingtonexaminer.com/dc-elections-c…
So, out of ALL the people who could’ve run the election process in one of the biggest counties in the country, this was the guy who was picked. Apparently no one in Houston, or all of Texas, was available. Only guy they could find was a DC guy with a horrible track record.

A student at an event tonight asked me if I think conservatives should be content with building competing companies & institutions with our values. I said no. I want to build our own and then take theirs. I want us to take over & dominate every single thing the left has ruined.
We’ll know we’re getting there when companies, teachers, journalists, doctors & politicians count the cost of promoting transing the kids and decide it’s way, way too high.
The left will shriek about this, emotionally extorting you into weakness even while they continue to dominate and destroy everything you hold dear. Trust me, the side throwing pro-lifers into prison while inflicting violence with impunity isn’t actually offended by talk of power

There are plenty of practical, scientific, & secular reasons to oppose progressivism, but Christian theology alone is sufficient to combat it. Without Christianity, we have no ultimate “why” to oppose abortion, gender confusion, or state overreach. Here’s what I mean.
I know this is going to be controversial, even (especially?) for many conservatives. Sorry. This is Twitter. You have to endure my takes & I have to endure yours 😜 Anywho -
We can say, scientifically, that a unique human life is formed at conception. This is a fact. But that fact doesn’t tell us why that human is valuable, why she should be protected, and why it’s wrong to kill her.

I’ve spoken at several pregnancy center fundraisers this year, and I always walk away praising God. While it doesn’t make headlines or trend on Twitter, He is doing lifesaving, soul saving work every second of every day through the joyful & unseen obedience of Christians.
Christians are the only group non-Christians feel comfortable chiding for not doing enough, and yet Christians do more than any other group for the most vulnerable. The work people say should be happening for the poor & vulnerable is already happening. Christians are doing it.
“We need to help women before trying to restrict abortion.” Have you checked? Or are you just complaining on Instagram? Get off your couch & go to your local pregnancy center. Chances are they’ve been serving the poor in your community longer than you’ve been alive.
