And though I referred to Lewis back then, I don't think I grasped the sheer brilliance of starting with such a common, everyday starting point: two boys arguing over the last couple wedges of an orange!<br /><br />But that is where it starts! We believe in Right and Wrong. Why? Why are even children convinced that some things are right and fair and others are not?<br /><br />I remain persuaded that morality exists because there is a Moral Lawgiver. Without God, morality has no basis. But, that's just the point, everyone everywhere will argue for what is fair. So morality does exist, therefore God must exist.<br /><br />Love it, still love it! So the next time you see your non-believing friend eating an orange, be sure to take the last wedge. When he says you should not have done that, tell him he can't say that unless he believes in God ;)Ken Symeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11459635303438115559noreply@blogger.com
