Christianity requires the presumption that newer isn’t always better; that change is not the same as progress.

It is a blaring irony when, in your critique of social inequality, you become the most critical of all.

One who is putting on armor should not boast as one who is taking it off.

To say that all religions are relative is a religion in itself, which is now vying with the others – and is vying for superiority. To say you can’t judge between religions is to judge between religions. To say you can’t determine right and wrong beliefs is to determine right and wrong beliefs.

For a Muslim, a Christian, and a Jew to sit around and say, “My way is the right way…My way is the right way” – if they do it civilly, you can have a society. Such banter is actually very consistent and rational. But to insist that no view of religious truth is superior – and by doing so insist that your view of religious truth is superior – is completely inconsistent and very dangerous, because that person doesn’t see what they’re doing. At least the Muslim, the Jew, and the Christian know what they’re saying.

We must not say that all religions are on the road to the top – that they’re all different yet all going to the same place – that all truth is relative. Jesus and common sense alike say no; such a view is absolutely impossible.
