This week we looked at how two different worldviews determine right and wrong.
Islam
If you use the Islamic map as your worldview map, you worship Allah and believe that humans were purposefully created by him. Therefore, you believe that right and wrong are Truths that Allah has decided. You learn about right and wrong by reading the Quran. You also believe that the prophet Mohammed lived life the right way. So, you try to learn as much as you can about him, so you know the right way to live.
Postmodernism
If you use the postmodern map as your worldview map, you worship community and believe that humans evolved accidentally. Like the naturalist, you believe that right and wrong are feelings that are different from community to community. Therefore, each community gets to decide for itself what is right and what is wrong.
Summarize what Islam and postmodernism worldviews teach about right and wrong.
Where have you heard these ideas expressed in culture?
Contrast what God says about right and wrong with what other worldviews teach.
