Visionaries,
Far from this being a demonstration of how illogical I am, it is actually a demonstration of whether or not ethical relativists have the courage of their convictions. If we reject the Christian morality that marriage consists of one man, one woman, one time, and we base this rejection on the fact that marriage is now only a “secular legal contract,” then on what basis do we limit secular legal contracts to just two parties? We were grievously mistaken, it appears, in limiting marriage to heteros. Why are we not also mistaken in limiting it to couples? I urge you, Chad, to stop trying to impede sexual liberation. The last thing we need around here is atheistic bluestocking wowserism.
Cordially,
Douglas Wilson
Apologetics in the Void” are repostings from an on-going electronic discussion and debate I had some time ago with members of our local community, whose names I have changed. The list serve is called Vision 20/20, and hence the name “visionaries.” Reading just these posts probably feels like listening to one half of a phone conversation, but I don’t feel at liberty to publish what others have written. But I have been editing these posts (lightly) with intelligibility in mind.
