In this episode, I talk through some of my thoughts in response to the sentiment expressed by some secular humanists: “Why does it matter where our morality comes from? If love for our neighbor is a self-evident good, who cares what the source of it is?”
I have two thoughts in response to this:
- Joy is made full in a relationship with the giver of a gift
- The source of our morality has great bearing on what our morality looks like
- The case of James Younger, a 7-year-old boy whose mother claims he is a transgender girl, is a current example of this dilemma.
