0059 - In this episode we take a look at Martin Luther King Jr.'s "Letter from Birmingham Jail." In honor of MLK day last week we are taking a look at one of his most famous letters. In this letter he defends his actions in protesting "unjust laws." He roots his understanding of justice and injustice in God. I talk about how that is the only place that could properly ground objective morality. I discuss how the Mormon view of God cannot account for objective morality as it is not grounded in God's nature. We then talk about modern applications to Dr. King's letter in the area of abortion laws and activism. A lot to digest - grab a Dr. Pepper and enjoy!!!
