A new open door

Culture shifted. Absolute truth died. There’s a new standard that’s defended as undeniable, as the only right way to live: Your truth is your truth; someone else’s truth is his or her truth. It’s called relativism; it’s really the devil’s playground.

This eternal truth is denounced as archaic, verbally abusive, and downright wrong.
