If there are no
         absolutes, chaos
              ensues.
                       If the law of
                      gravity were not
                      an absolute, we
                       wouldn’t know
                      where to stand
                           or sit.










          If two plus two
         didn’t always equal
        four, busine would
           be impoible.
           If laws of math,
          science and physics
           are absolute, so
         there are absolute
            moral truths.


      Stop — roer!                                                 When you say, “What might
                                                                     be ‘right’ for you may
                                                                    not be ‘right’ for me,” it
                                                                    may s„m a…ealing — but
                                                                       in reality, it means
                                                                    everyone sets their own
                                                                        rules to live by.
                                                                      It is just a ma†er of
                                                                         time before one
                                                                     person’s sense of right
                                                                        wi  conflict with
                                                                         someone else’s.

        What ha…ens if it                Or I might think it
       is “right” for me to               is right to steal
         ignore tra‡ic                   from you, and you
        lights, even when               might think it is not
          they are red?                        right.

















                                          If there is no standard
                                          of right and wrong that
                                          we are a  a ountable
                                          to, then we can never be
                                             sure of anything.
                                          There could be no laws or
                                           justice — a world without
                                            absolutes would be a
                                            ho ible place to live.
