Relative Truth Dry Cleaners — ‘they’re clean — to us’
In two national surveys conducted by Barna Research, one among adults and one among teenagers, people were asked if they believe that there are moral absolutes that are unchanging or that moral truth is relative to the circumstances. By a 3-to-1 margin (64% vs. 22%) adults said truth is always relative to the person and their situation. The perspective was even more lopsided among teenagers, 83% of whom said moral truth depends on the circumstances, and only 6% of whom said moral truth is absolute.
What if other professions started embracing a ‘relative’ world view?
Silly, isn’t it?
We are quickly becoming the most moral generation - but one that doesn’t even know the word of it.
