Pluralism is Dead

Pluralism is dead. Our country was founded to be a pluralistic society. Sadly, we are now living in a relativistic society that has replaced the belief that truth is objective and can be known, with the belief that it is subjective and everyone is correct even when they hold contradictory beliefs. I also think most Americans, thanks to the public and private school systems, confuse a pluralistic society and a relativistic society.

The right to live by truth as you understand it is respected; disagreements are discussed with civility, … Continue reading

I pray for our … Continue reading
