In this episode, the hosts discuss the influence of culture on ethics, exploring various ethical systems and their implications. They emphasize the importance of a biblical standard of ethics that transcends cultural norms and highlights the objective nature of morality as defined by scripture. The conversation covers topics such as the fallacy of 'might is right', the role of social norms, individual versus collective morality, and the dangers of subjective ethics. Ultimately, they advocate for a return to biblical principles as the only true guide for ethical behavior.
