Those crazy, conservative Christians!


A movie is coming out in February about the man who led the movement to abolish the slave trade: British parliamentarian- and conservative Christian- William Wilberforce.

The movie, "Amazing Grace: The William Wilberforce Story," is a film contemporary post-modernists really ought to make it a point to see. They might learn a thing or two about the objective reality of good and evil, as well about the actual role of Christianity in the development of our contemporary culture.

Yet another area in which those without any sense of universally- applicable ethics try to blame those who have such a sense for evils for which their own world view is responsible- and for which the world view they oppose has proven throughout history to be the antidote. While it didn't immediately abolish it, Christianity, after all, so subverted slavery in the ancient Graeco-Roman world that there, too, it led to its eventual extinction.
