Quoted from The Glory of Heaven (J. MacArthur):
THE ASSERTION
- "we create our own surroundings by the thoughts we think"
- "truth and reality and subjective, unique to every individual"
- "All our 'surroundings' ... are merely the product of our thoughts"
IMPLICATIONS
"The moral effects of such relativism are abominble. This means, for example, that people afflicted with illnesses and disabilities are viewed as having brought these things upon themselves.... This has the effect of trivializing human suffering and absolving the Nazi butchers of their crimes." D. Groothuis is quoted as having written, "If the Holocaust victims were not really victims at all but willing participants, then the Nazis should not have been morally condemned; they were simply enacting the wishes of their subjects. Surely, this is morally absurd."
