How do we know when we've gotten something wrong? The point I'm attempting to make is that by what measure (standard) do we determine that a society got something wrong? How do we decide that the Nazis were wrong to haul the Jews away and kill millions of them? Without God, it seems to me that we are left to decide what is just or unjust by majority opinion. I think that is unacceptable given the history of even the past century. It is as though human beings are incapable of truly living up to their potential. Do you think that the past 100 years of human history shows that humans have learned anything useful about morality and how to promote justice for all?
