“Better Answers: The Case for Judeo-Christian Values”
“The collapse of Christianity in Europe led to the horrors of Nazism and Communism. And to the moral confusions of the present — such as the moral equation of the free United States with the totalitarian Soviet Union, or of life-loving Israel with its death-loving enemies.”
“The Case for Judeo-Christian Values: Part II”
“Is abortion morally wrong? To the secular world, the answer is ‘It’s between a woman and her physician.’ There is no clearer expression of moral relativism: Every woman determines whether abortion is moral. On the other hand, to the individual with Judeo-Christian values, it is not between anyone and anyone else. It is between society and God. Even among religious people who differ in their reading of God’s will, it is still never merely ‘between a woman and her physician.’”
“Judeo-Christian Values: Part III”
“… Reason is amoral. Reason is only a tool and, therefore, can just as easily argue for evil as for good. If you want to achieve good, reason is immensely helpful; if you want to do evil, reason is immensely helpful. But reason alone cannot determine which you choose. It is sometimes rational to do what is wrong and sometimes rational to do what is right.”
“The Case for Judeo-Christian Values: Part IV”
“… Secular values provide no basis for elevating human worth over that of an animal. Judeo-Christian values posit that human beings, not animals, are created in God’s image and, therefore, human life is infinitely more sacred than animal life.”
“The Case for Judeo-Christian Values: Part V”
“Judeo-Christian values combine the two religions’ strengths — the Jewish emphasis on moral works in this world with the Christian emphasis on keeping God at the center of one’s values and works.”
“Liberal Feeling vs. Judeo-Christian Values: Part VI”
“Aside from reliance on feelings, how else can one explain a person who believes, let alone proudly announces on a bumper sticker, that ‘War is not the answer’? I know of no comparable conservative bumper sticker that is so demonstrably false and morally ignorant. Almost every great evil has been solved by war — from slavery in America to the Holocaust in Europe. Auschwitz was liberated by soldiers making war, not by pacifists who would have allowed the Nazis to murder every Jew in Europe.”
“The unprecedented support of liberals for radically redefining the basic institution of society, marriage and the family, is another product of feelings — sympathy for homosexuals. Thinking through the effects of such a radical redefinition on society and its children is not a liberal concern.”
“Hate Evil: The Case for Judeo-Christian Values, Part VII”
“In the contemporary Western world, most people who identify with the Left hate war, corporations, pollution, Christian fundamentalists, economic inequality, tobacco and conservatives. But they rarely hate the greatest evils of their day, if by evil we are talking about the deliberate infliction of cruelty — mass murder, rape, torture, genocide and totalitarianism.”
“Part VIII: Judeo-Christian Values are Larger than Judaism or Christianity”
“… That is precisely the greatness of Judeo-Christian values: They are greater than the sum of their parts… The combination of Jewish Scripture (the Old Testament) and Christian thought and activism — as worked out mostly in America and mostly by Judeo-based Christians — has forged something larger and more universally applicable than either Judaism or Christianity alone.”
“Choose Life: The Case for Judeo-Christian Values: IX”
“… If there is anything that Judeo-Christian values stand for, it is choosing life and rejecting death. As the Torah puts it, ‘I have put before you today life and death, and you shall choose life.’”
“The Left’s Battle to Restore Chaos: Judeo-Christian Values: Part X”
“Opponents of Judeo-Christian values have made war on moral absolutes, on God-based moral values… This has been attempted through moral relativism (“what I think is good is good for me, what you think is good is good for you”); opposition to moral judgments (“who are you to call the Soviet Union ‘evil’?”); multiculturalism (“no culture’s values are any better than any other’s”); substituting psychological categories for moral ones (such as routinely labeling violent murderers “sick” rather than evil); dividing the world into the powerful and the weak rather than the good and bad; and through Marxism and all its leftist and liberal materialism-based offshoots that have substituted economic criteria for moral ones (‘poverty causes crime’; or as constantly heard since 9-11, poverty breeds terrorists)…”
“Moral Absolutes: Judeo-Christian Values: Part XI”
“In the Judeo-Christian value system, God is the source of moral values and therefore what is moral and immoral transcends personal or societal opinion. Without God, each society or individual makes up its or his/her moral standards. But once individuals or societies become the source of right and wrong, right and wrong, good and evil, are merely adjectives describing one’s preferences. This is known as moral relativism, and it is the dominant attitude toward morality in modern secular society.”
“The Jews Have a Mission: Judeo-Christian Values: Part XII”
“The Jews’ mission is as it always has been — to bring the world to ethical monotheism. Ethical monotheism means there is one God and therefore one moral standard that He has revealed, and He holds all humans accountable to it. This is the point of Jewish chosenness. God chose a people — a particularly small undistinguished people (chosenness has never implied inherent superiority) — to make the world aware of the God of ethical demands and moral judgment.”
