During the recent Cambridge Mission, Ravi Zacharias spoke on 'What happened after God's funeral?' We print here a brief extract which touches on the problem of moral relativism, which follows atheism.
I think it was Paul Tillich who said that religion is the essence of any culture and culture is the dress of religion. I believe he was right in this statement. The West has yet to answer the question: 'What is the essential belief in its culture'. With pluralism growing dramatically, it is a question that Western culture needs to answer.
What is the essence of what we now believe? Is there any religiosity, any spirituality to it? Because that is going to determine the kind of dress we ultimately wear: that is, the terms of engagement in which we will live with each other. What has happened to us after the death of God in Nietzchian terms?
