"...since they held that all morality was a mere subjective by-product of the physical and economic situations of men..." That Hideous Strength, C.S. Lewis.

I thought that quote apropos since I was just discussing moral absolutes a couple days ago. It always strikes me as odd when I'm reading a book from yesteryear that speaks as if written today. Or, at the very least, makes me wonder if society is as it has always been. I remember being sort of thunderstruck when reading a passage in Augustine's Confessions that described the way people reacted to the rampant immorality in the theater of his day (around 400 AD). I thought I might just as well be reading a modern expose' on Hollywood.
