Moral Relativism and Today's Culture


If you’re like me, you have heard many from the progressive left lecture us about how important it is to be open minded, reject uninformed assumptions, and avoid assigning guilt or accountability. Has not this non-judgmental mindset now trickled down into society at large? When there’s a choice between what’s best for society and best for a select individual who has done something wrong, do we, more times than not, default to protecting that individual? How’s that working out for us? Since the stigma around getting a divorce, having a child out of wedlock or having an abortion has faded, are we better or worse off? Are the kids who are aborted or who get raised by a single parent instead of a family better off? Are the guys who are particularly tentative to wed because they fear divorce better off? Are we better off because people no longer wonder whether doing something dreadful in public will hurt personal character or ruin their family’s reputation? The very fact that we are so reluctant to draw a line in the sand and openly admit, right from wrong has mired our culture in dissoluteness. Do you suppose, just maybe, if more people felt regretful when committing egregious acts there would be more conscientious and right-minded human beings?
