Without God there is no normative nature. Without God, freedom has no meaning, so that the good or bad use or misuse of freedom cannot be evaluated, because without God, nature has no other meaning than what man wants to give it. Without God, rights go crazy, contradict each other, neutralize each other, destroy each other: right to life and right to abortion, right to physical integrity and right to self-mutilation, right to family when we no longer know what family is..., right to be human and right to be a... cat. Nature without a Creator has no sense.
The West World commits suicide. Muslims look down on us for our atheism. With so much "inclusive" discourse, with so much pretension of ideological "neutrality", we are neutralizing our own capacity to argue. God is not a political option, but a fundamental cognitive presupposition, without which almost nothing in this world can be understood. It is time to talk about God again. I say it many times: if we want to explain geography, we cannot construct a discourse for the earth-planners in order to appear "inclusive". The earth-planners will not understand geography well if they do not know that the earth is round. Similarly, the moral philosophy that grounds natural rights and duties presupposes a sense of nature, a Creator. And if things make sense, then we can speak of progress or regress. Because to progress is to walk towards the best. To corrupt is to move away from the best. And the best is the fullness of the form of everything created. If there is no such fullness, there is no meaning, no progress. There is only meaningless change. It is, therefore, absolutely fundamental to return to speak of God in the discourse of rights and duties. It is a historical mistake to have marginalized him, even with the noble intention of being better received by believers and non-believers.
