*\u00a0My outline and notes for the\u00a0Chapter 2 are available\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

* This week, Matt and I were drinking Heineken<\/a>.<\/p>\n

* In this chapter, Jack responds to three objections:<\/p>\n

(1)\u00a0The\u00a0“Moral Law” is\u00a0just herd instinct.<\/p>\n

(2)\u00a0The “Moral Law” is simply social convention which we are taught.<\/p>\n

(3) The “Moral Law” has clearly changed – we used to kill witches!<\/p>\n

* Matt mentions The Great Divorce<\/a>, which is another book written by Lewis. It’s a fictional account of a dead man journeying into Heaven.<\/span><\/p>\n

* When speaking about love, Matt\u00a0gave a quotation from\u00a0the great Archbishop Fulton Sheen<\/a>, one of the first great American television evangelists. I followed up with a quotation from St. Thomas Aquinas<\/a>, the\u00a0prolific\u00a013th Century philosopher and theologian.<\/p>\n

* After further thought, I think the example I gave about the morality of eating cows wasn’t originally mine. I think I heard it on the Mere Christianity Podcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
