One of the biggest indicators that a person's belief system (aka worldview) is not neutral, is the contradiction between their stated beliefs on paper and their actual beliefs demonstrated in the way they live. In this clip from the worldview course called Breathe Air, Swallow Food, and Think Rightly, we discuss how to interact with someone who claims to be neutral while standing firmly on biased ground.

In this episode we're listening to a clip from the There's No Party Like a Neutral Party video in the Think Rightly worldview course. Is anyone neutral when it comes to their ultimate starting point? You'll learn why believing you are neutral will betray your ability to think rightly.

Here we take a closer look at your core, and discuss how each piece affects your life. 

Morality: did God set it up or did we?  I recently came across a YouTube video by Chris LaForest entitled "Atheism,  Agnosticism, Deism - What are they and what's with all the confusion?" Since he is an atheist, I asked him about his statement at the end of his video (13 min mark) where he said that people should "increase well being and reduce suffering". My question was: Is increasing well being and reducing suffering objectively right, or is it just his personal preference? If you've watched my Matt Dillahunty video on atheism and morality, then you know why I'm asking that.  In response to my question, he referred me to another video he had done entitled "We have to take morality away from the realm of religion".  This is the video that I am interacting with here.

These are three very penetrating questions. Can you defend your ethics against them? Without a sovereign lawgiver, how can anyone's rules be anything but arbitrary? In this episode we listen to a prominent atheist try to answer the question of where he gets his limits of morality from.
