The Suspension From Nothing Bridge

“Why ought one individual, with one set of nerve endings, be concerned about another set of nerve endings entirely? They are not connected, except through cultural teaching. That teaching, in our case, is grounded in the will of God. In your case, it is grounded in bare assertion. What you need to do here is sketch for us the bridge between one set of nerve endings and another, and show us why that bridge of yours creates an obligation those two sets of nerve endings must share” (Letter From a Christian Citizen, pp. 27-28).
