THE QUESTIONS: Following Jesus in a Post-Christian Culture
Can’t we just be good without God?
“Let there be a law that no deformed child shall live.”
- Aristotle

Is there a God? No.
What is the nature of reality? What physics says it is.
What is the purpose of the universe? There is none.
Why am I here? Just dumb luck.
What is the difference between right and wrong, good and bad? There is no moral difference between them.
Why should I be moral? Because it makes you feel better.
Is anything forbidden then? No. Anything goes.
- Dr. Alex Rosenberg

Jesus made all lives count
- Babies and children
- Babies and children
You have to be impressed with Jesus of Nazareth. At the time of Jesus’ life, around 4 BC to 30 AD, child abuse, as noted by one historian, was “the crying vice of the Roman empire.” Infanticide was common. Abandonment was common. Children were property, no different than slaves. But Jesus stood up for children, cared about them, when those around him typically didn’t.

History shows us that our beliefs about right and wrong and equal value of all humans came to us from Christianity.

Can’t we all just decide for ourselves what is good without God?
If there is, at the bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil and no good, we have nothing left, but blind, pitiless indifference.
- Richard Dawkins
- Richard Dawkins
How do I know there are such things as human rights? I don’t. Our grounding for human rights is about as tenuous as our position as a primate species on a rather dodgy planet.
- Christopher Hitchens

The Triune God decides what is good
How am I defining what is good?
