Dennis Prager: The case for Judeo-Christian values

Dennis Prager makes the case for Judeo-Christian values in two columns where he writes about right and wrong, good and evil and moral relativism. You can find Part I here and Part II here:

In the late 1970s, in a public interview in Los Angeles, I asked one of the leading secular liberal thinkers of the past generation, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr., if he would say that the United States was a morally superior society to that of the Soviet Union. Even when I repeated the question, and clarified that I readily acknowledged the existence of good individuals in the Soviet Union and bad ones in America, he refused to do so.

A major reason for the left's loathing of George W. Bush is his use of moral language -- such as in his widely condemned description of the regimes of North Korea, Iran and Iraq as an "axis of evil." These people reject the central Judeo-Christian value of the existence of objective good and evil and our obligation to make such judgments. Secularism has led to moral confusion, which in turn has led to moral paralysis.

The culture war will continue to wage as neither side is about to give up their cause. Those who believe in God believe that Truth will win out while moral relativists believe truth is subjective. So it goes.
