The Spiritual State of the Emerging Generation: A Conversation with Christian Smith

As the period of emerging adulthood grows longer, young people are becoming more alienated spiritually.  Notre Dame Professor Christian Smith has done extensive research on the spiritual state of the emerging generation.  His research has led him to label the emerging generation’s religion, “Moralistic Therapeutic Deism.”  On the inaugural program of “Thinking in Public,” Dr….

IVF, Then Abortion? What Does This Say?

A recent editorial in The Times of London reveals that an increasing number of women are seeking abortions after they become pregnant through in vitro fertilization (IVF).  The fact that many women are having abortions after undergoing such extensive treatment is further evidence of the tragic state of human beings.  On today’s program, Dr. Mohler…

Age & Moral Responsibility

Does age matter when dealing with moral accountability?  Governments are often faced with deciding how society should punish both the young and the old for wrongs they have committed.  The conversation becomes very difficult when dealing with the case of young children.  Should young delinquents be penalized in the same way adults are for the…

When Morality Collapses — The Therapeutic Evasion

Every civilization relies on a consistent moral framework to provide stability and justice within society.  For some time now, the moral fabric which undergirds our society has been under attack by the secular elite.  Rather than seeing immoral acts as wrong and calling them that with intentional clarity, the psychiatric class has attempted to take…

Morality Defined by Hollywood

Moral hypocrisy is a terrible thing, but in the case of child rape, special disgust is added to the tragedy.  Roman Polanski has been arrested for the rape of a teenage girl that he committed in 1977.  Many question whether or not it is right to arrest a celebrity for something he did over three…

How Will History Remember the Gay Marriage Debate?

In his acceptance speech last night at the Academy Awards, actor Sean Penn told supporters of California’s Proposition 8 that their opposition to gay marriage was a cause of “great shame” and would lead to “shame in their grandchildren’s eyes.” On today’s program, Dr. Mohler asks whether or not Penn’s assessment is realistic and what…

The Delusion of Determinism

The subversion of moral responsibility is one of the most significant developments of recent decades. Though this subversion was originally philosophical, more recent efforts have been based in biology and psychology. Various theorists have argued that our decisions and actions are determined by genetics, environmental factors, or other forces. Now, Scientific American is out with…

Moral Hypocrisy, Cultural Norms, and Unchanging Truth

The struggle to define “normal” is often one plagued with confusion and moral hypocrisy. When individuals and institutions abandon any commitment to an objective and unchanging source of moral authority, we’re eventually left to ourselves when attempting to make moral judgments.

Learning from Christopher Hitchens: Lessons Evangelicals Must Not Miss

The death of Christopher Hitchens on December 15 was not unexpected, and that seemed only to add to the tragedy.  His fight against cancer had been lived, like almost every other aspect of his colorful life, in full public view. He had told numerous interviewers that he wanted to die in an active, not a passive sense. Then again, there may never have been a truly passive moment in Christopher Hitchens’ life.

President Obama and Same-Sex Marriage — The Dance Continues

Some predictions are rather safe to make. 2012 is almost certain to be a determinative year on the issue of same-sex marriage. Multiple courts appear poised to strike down the Defense of Marriage Act [DOMA] and, even more urgently, the appeal on California’s Proposition 8 at the Ninth Circuit U. S. Court of Appeals will set up a certain appeal to the U. S. Supreme Court. Given the facts of this case and the significance of the nation’s most populous state, the Supreme Court is almost certain to take the case. This sets the stage for the courts to make some determinative statement on same-sex marriage within the next several months — a decision that will go a long way toward setting the direction of the larger culture.
