010. Mark Steyn with Douglas Murray Part 14

Douglas Murray on Christianity, “The argument about the position of religion to that extent has more or less been sorted out.‭ ‬But there’s something that the non-religious then have to do, which is and I think this is a quid pro quo, which is to Concede that in matters like Issues to do with Life and Meaning, the churches have a Voice. You know they’ve thought about this!‭ ‬I mean one of the great things I discovered on campus is, we don’t need like X telling us about you know, we don’t need a Bishop telling us about, Procreation, Well it’s Possible!‭ ‬The Church just thought about these things,‭ ‬I mean may have even thought about them more than you have in‭ ‬18‭ ‬years of life or whatever.‭ ‬And there’s a whole set of issues with that case. It’s almost as if we’ve said anything that comes from our Religious and Philosophical Tradition and by its Nature, is of no interest to us, because we’ve got this great New Idea! And of course, sadly, the great new idea is this, St George in retirement, the Whole of Life is a set of Battles for Rights and you’ve Slain the Dragon and now you Stagger around the land looking for Smaller and Smaller Dragons!” Well put.
