There are those in this world who deny the existence of evil entirely, as was clear from Dr. John DeMartini’s recent appearance on Aubrey Marcus’s podcast. Over the course of that episode, John DeMartini argued for a level of moral relativism that denied any objective universal standard for defining what child abuse is, or that having sex with a five year old was always bad. John DeMartini made a rather revealing remark: he said that he had seen brothers and sisters having sex with each other in a bathtub in response to Marcus’s query about having sex with a five year old. Marcus does not follow up on this disturbing claim.
