The fact that so-called “experts” have to be employed to say what is ethical is just one sign that many people are increasingly incapable of telling…

Gita Saraydarian asked: The issues of moral and ethical values have been swept under the rug. Masquerading under so-called life-giving values, organ transplanting has become big business. In reality, practices surrounding organ “harvesting” is a “logical” conclusion of a materialistic view of human life, driven by self-centeredness and greed.

Ernie Fitzpatrick asked: Much of the church has attempted to make Christianity solely about ethics and morals. Guess who wins at that game? No one! There is no such thing as moral perfection and few if any absolutes this side of the third dimension.
