First, I...Two things about this reading from Lewis. First, I love this reasoning: we can all picture "New York," but the truer picture is the one that most resembles the real New York. I've always liked this kind of reasoning. It lies behind the Ontological Argument: the fact that I can think of a God who is all powerful and all knowing means that he must exist because he wouldn't really be all powerful or all knowing if he existed only in my mind!<br /><br />Second, once again, Lewis brings up Nazi morality as a way to illustrate his point. Cultural relativism (which argues that all cultures have moral codes and none are right or wrong just different) is totally wrongheaded. Obviously, one morality can be superior to another. Perhaps we need to be reminded of what Nazi Germany was really like. Thanks Jack!Ken Symeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11459635303438115559noreply@blogger.com
