Christian Life - Unit #1

Radical Subjectivism says

• We can never truly know anything

• We should always question

• We are always allowed to share our opinions

• We can only think subjectively sometimes

Radical Subjectivism falls apart because...

• No one can agree with each other's opinions

• We cannot KNOW that we cannot know anything (bad logic)

• Subjectivism is sometimes objective

• Objective truths overpower the subjective

We can prove that "Truth" exists because if a person says, "There is no truth"...

• Math makes it obvious to us

• They just made a truth statement. "It is TRUE that there is no TRUTH"

• Because I can know that my name is what everyone says it is

• I can know if this is a dream by pinching myself

Existensialism believes that if a person believes that something is true, then...

• It automatically makes it true for all people

• It is true for them. It is "their truth".

• They should test the truth

• They can have their truth battle someone else's truth

Existentialism does not work because...

• Feelings are only temporary

• Beliefs/feelings do not equal "truth"

• Beliefs are more powerful than truths

• Existing cannot be proven

Select examples of how Existensialism pops up in the "main stream" society in America today: (select more than one)

• Some people say they are a male when they were born a female today

• Identifying as a different race than what they were born

• “This is my truth”

• People claiming that their existence is everyone's existence

Moral relativism is the belief that morals...

• Depend on the situation, but there are right and wrong actions

• Are all opinion. There is no true right or wrong

• Can be found in a neat moral handbook

• Are true. Right and wrong do exist, but they can change

Absolute morality believes that:

• What is "good" and "bad" depends on the situation

• There is no true right or wrong

• Right and wrong change over time

• Right and wrong exist and do not change
