With a woman to look at culture from a Christian worldview, I'm John Stone Street with a point.

Princeton professor Robert George reports how students respond when he asked them what their

position on slavery would have been, had they been wide in living in this out before abolition.

Guess what? They all would have been abolitionists, they would have bravely spoken out against

slavery and worked tirelessly against it. It's easy to look back at past atrocities and

think I never would have done that, but that confidence misplaced. Without some grounds

for unusual moral clarity, most go along with whatever a culture declares to be right,

even on matters now known to be plainly wrong. Of course, this is usually just a mental

exercise. Until Saturday, we now face an actual crisis. Following the massacre in Israel,

protesters across the western world have praised the slaughter, vandalized Jewish sites,

and in particular, egregious case in Sydney, chanted gas to Jews. Look, if you've ever

wondered if you have the moral courage to stand up when it counts, this could be our chance.

For The Colson Center, I'm John Stone Street.
