The thread heading is a phrase I've seen used by several times on this forum, by Christina and (I think) one or two others. I felt an examination of it would warrant a thread of its own.I don't disagree with the comment per se- I just think that it applies equally well to every time that's preceded this one. The only difference now is that those who call good what others call evil are much more aware of each other- and with that awareness, plus the idea that those born elsewhere are equals rather than subhuman barbarians (a word stemming from the ancient greek's belief that all foreigners were simply babbling "bar-bar-bar" rather than actually communicating), many traditional concepts of how to discern right from wrong are exposed as hollow constructions of man.It's a difficult notion- that on this world is someone who's just as smart as me, just as wise as me, just as morally upright, and that person believes something completely different about the nature of the world because he and I were taught different things as a child. If he believes in Allah and I believe in God, what reason can I offer for being right that he cannot also provide? How can my faith have meaning, rather than just being a stubborn insistence that I happened to be born to parents who knew the One True explanation?My personal answer has been to seek a philosophy that will lead to the same conclusion regardless of my origins. I have always been a Christian who believes in God, but so long as I remain ignorant of the faiths and beliefs of others, I have no real way to say whether the foundations of my own faith are built on sinking sand.I know there are many Christians who fear that people are losing their conviction to do what is right. My concern, however, is that many- Christians included- are equating a will to do the right thing with a certainty that they have fully determined what the right thing is.Any thoughts and responses you have to offer are appreciated.
