We live in a relative age. Our current culture is rejecting the existence of absolute truth. Relativism is a core value of New Age, Post-Modern and Emergent Church thinking. It was not so with the Founding Fathers.
We hold these Truths to be self-evident,
The American Experiment is based on an agreement on certain unquestionable truths. We will look at some of those later but they assumed that truth was not a variable, it was a constant. We see a growing number of justices on the Supreme Court going to relative values when they talk about a “Living Constitution.” By that they mean that the Founders were provincial and parochial while modern, highly educated elite judges, in light of their more advanced insights and intelligence, are free to interpret and correct what they wrote. This is a violation of the American Experiment and will ultimately destroy it.
These truths were obvious to any clear thinking person of good will. Those who believe in relativism are lacking in one of those areas.
