Now, there is the opinion that there’s a God, and that when you reach your final judgement, everyone will only be held accountable to whatever he believed in. There’s no “right” religion, they’re just a structure to keep us leading whatever morals that religion preaches. This sounds like a nice little fantasy world, that lets us all be happy doing whatever we want, and believing whatever we want, but what that idea doesn’t take into account is that there are many people out there with very extreme ideas. If a pedophile believes in his heart that there’s nothing wrong with fooling around with little boys or girls, who is to say that he’s wrong? He can’t help it, he was born that way. That’s the explanation used for homosexuality. Wouldn’t it be logical that a sexual attraction would come from the same place? If my opinion is just as valid as the pedophile’s, then I should have no right to tell him that he can’t love children. That’s where the question of morality comes up.
What is exactly is morality? It’s a set of rules set up that tell us what’s the difference between right and wrong. Correct? Well, if morality is relative, then who decides what’s right and wrong? The government? The government is made up of people just like you or me. They make mistakes. They aren’t infallible. Besides, how do you explain all the oppressive governments throughout history? Where they to be the dictators of morality. This brings us back to God. There must be an all-powerful force of justice that tells us the difference between right and wrong. If there isn’t, I should be able to go out and kill somebody for a piece of food. It’s survival of the fittest, right? Except that that’s how animals live, and despite the evolutionary theory’s stating the contrary, that’s not what we are. We are above animals, because we were granted the ability to think and reason and more importantly, coexist with each other in fellowship.
To me, this is actually the heaviest proof that there is an almighty creator, and after you settle upon that knowledge, to me, Christianity is the only religion that makes sense, because it only seems logical that our Creator would want to reach out to us, and show us the difference between what’s beneficiary, and what isn’t. So, in closing, I leave you to ponder the question if truth can really be relative, without some sort of contradiction? And if not, what is the truth. I believe Jesus Christ tells us in the above passage. He is.
