The hope for a healthy America resides in the soul of each American. Consider physical health. Loss of function. Disease. If truth is entirely subjective, who are medical practitioners to insist that this is “unhealthy”? For everyone? How is such an "essentialist" view not "fascist"?
This is not about Republican or Democrat. Conservative or liberal. The hope for a healthy America resides in the soul of each American, whether or not we regard the fundamental premise upon which we all rely: universal, objective truth. With each moral choice each of us are presented with authentic freedom, joy, intimacy, and purpose that flows from living in accord with our true nature, an opportunity to heal and revive this nation, for ourselves and future generations... or not.
Here are ten consequential measures:
(1) If truth is whatever anyone wants it to mean, it means everything. Which is to say, nothing. Anything goes. All morals are absurd. Notions of "female," "male," "marriage," and "human life" are meaningless.
(2) It's impossible not to judge. To disagree is to prove my point.
(3) If you tolerate falsehood and the bad, you are intolerant of truth and the good. You can't have it both ways.
(4) Respect for another's conscience does not mean abandoning your own.
(5) We cannot break the moral law; we can only break ourselves against it. (Cecil B DeMille)
(6) Babble, Lot, Sodom, and Gomorrah was not just a historical account. (Gen. 19)
(7) Not to speak is to speak. Not to act as to act. God will hold us accountable. (Dietrich Bonhoeffer)
(8) We can't create truth. Truth created us.
(9) The only orientation that matters is the one we all share: from sin to salvation in Jesus Christ.
(10) Marriage and family are God's image to the world. The cornerstone of civilization. The future of humanity passes by way of the family. (St. John Paul II)
