Is God Dead?: Right and Wrong

By Ty B. Kerley We concluded last time by analyzing the popular “COEXIST” bumper sticker. According to this bumper sticker, “c” is the symbol of Islam, “o” is the symbol of the peace movement, “e” is the symbol for transgenderism, “x” is the Jewish star of David, the dot on the “i” is the witch worshiping Wiccan symbol, the “s” is the Taoist yin/yang symbol, and the “t” is the Christian Cross of Christ. One big happy family, they say. But that cannot be true because each one makes an exclusionary truth claim; each one claims to be ultimate and exclusive moral truth. Indeed, Christians hold that there is a moral law written on the hearts (in the soul) of men, by the Creator as an endowment of their creation. That means that the moral law is seated in the human soul as an aspect of consciousness. It is a nonnegotiable law, a law that everyone recognizes, a law that “just is” a part of being human. The atheist claims there are no absolute truths. That your truth is your truth and my truth is my truth because there is no absolute truth that applies to all people. Rather, all truth is relative. The atheist says that truth is only relative to the person who believes it, not everyone else. Christianity is true for some, and atheism is true for others and that is okay as long as we respect each other because there is no absolute truth anyway, or so they say.
