Nietzsche came up with the concept of values, and the modern conception is your values, my values.

Let's just agree to disagree.

Well, the great Catholic tradition, St.

Augustine, Aquinas, Calvin, Luther, the Protestant Reformation, they had systems of thought that had to be internally consistent.

We're missing those these days.

Just war theory, all these concepts were objective truths proven by reason and in accord with the revelation in the Bible.

Those two things are great guardrails for Western civilization.

They have to all fit together.

Unfortunately, today, when these teachers in the schools, and one thing, Megan, you know, she basically mentioned the seminaries, but K-12 education,

They're indoctrinated by these dangerous helpers called school counselors who all teach values, values clarification.

You're okay.

I'm okay.

We're not all okay, right?

And so the central doctrines of Christianity are embedded in the kingdom of God.

Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand and keep your ears open for that.

And also when it comes to values and virtues, Jesus also said the first command is love God first, right?

So whenever you get to this empathy and everything about these modern values and virtues toward your neighbor, it doesn't work if God the Father is not involved in that conversation.

If it's not God guiding those values and virtues, God ensures, along with human reason, that things are systematic.

Our founders all knew that.

James Madison, who went to Princeton, wrote the Constitution.
