Letter Of The Day

If there is one thing the modern secular mind claims to be certain of about morality, it is that no one can really be certain about morality. If there is one thing about religious believers that is utterly incomprehensible to most of the media, public education and journalism today, it is the fact that believers claim they can know what is really, truly good and evil.

Typically, modern people say that morality is a complex issue. G.K. Chesterton explained why: "Morality is always terribly complicated — to a man who has lost all his principles."

—Roger Smith, Waterloo.
