The Complexity of Moral Integrity
Buck Williams: [[w:Ten Commandments|Ten Commandments]
You just staid you're a good person. I mean, do you think you've kept the ]?
Chris Smith:
Yeah, pretty much. I mean, I'm not perfect, but I haven't killed anyone.
Buck Williams:
Okay, well, have you ever lied?
Chris Smith:
Yeah, well, who hasn't?
Buck Williams:
So what does that make you?
Chris Smith:
...human.
Buck Williams:
Come on, Chris. Be honest. If you've murdered somebody, that makes you a murderer. So if you've lied, what does that make you?
Chris Smith:
Okay, a liar.
Buck Williams:
Have you ever stolen anything?
Chris Smith:
No.
Buck Williams:
Even if it's something small?
Chris Smith:
Well, yeah, once.
Buck Williams:
So what does that make you?
Chris Smith:
A thief.
Buck Williams:
You know, the one that really got me was, uh, Jesus said whoever looks after a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. Have you ever done that?
Chris Smith:
Yeah, guilty.
Buck Williams:
So Chris, by your own admission, you're a lying thief and an adulterer at heart. And that's only three of the Ten Commandments. So if God judges you by those standards, do you honestly think you're gonna be innocent, or guilty?
Chris Smith:
I guess I'd be guilty.
Buck Williams:
Chris, that's the point.
