About this episode
We live in an age of profound confusion about the most basic things. We are confused about what a man is, what a woman is, what marriage is, and what money is. But underlying all of these confusions is a much more fundamental confusion, and it is the question of ownership. The modern secularist, whether he is a Marxist or a crony capitalist, believes that the world is a pile of raw materials up for grabs. For the socialist, the State owns it all, and doles out portions as it sees fit, which is another name for tyranny. For the radical individualist, he is his own god, and his property is absolutely his own, to do with as he pleases. Both are dead wrong, and both are in rebellion against the first principle of reality. The Bible, in contrast, begins with a thunderous declaration of ownership.
