Pizza, Sushi, and the Definition of Morality

If it is written in the laws of the universe, that ‘thou shalt not put pineapple on pizza’, then to do so is a sin. If it is written, ‘thou shalt not commit adultery’, then ‘open marriage’ is a sin. If it is written ‘male and female, created He them’, then transgenderism is a sin.

If nothing is written, if nothing is objective, if nothing is external, then nothing is a sin. It is all just a preference. Pineapple on pizza, your wife sleeping with another man, your daughter having her breasts cut off… just a preference. Pizza or sushi. That is where that path leads.

This post is in the ‘Pizza and Sushi’ letter exchange with

Fallible Father

. Others are encouraged to enter the exchange.

Thank you for reading Von’s Substack. I would love it if you commented! I love hearing from readers, especially critical comments. I would love to start more letter exchanges, so if there’s a subject you’re interested in, get writing and tag me!

Being ‘restacked’ and mentioned in ‘notes’ is very important for lesser-known stacks so… feel free! I’m semi-retired and write as a ministry (and for fun) so you don’t need to feel guilty you aren’t paying for anything, but if you enjoy my writing (even if you dramatically disagree with it), then restack, please! Or mention me in one of your own posts.

If I don’t write you back it is almost certain that I didn’t see it, so please feel free to comment and link to your post. Or if you just think I would be interested in your post!

Thanks again, God Bless, Soli Deo gloria,

Von

Pizza Discussion

The “Pizza Discussion” is a letter exchange with

Fallible Father

. In it we discuss issues of the importance of religion, God, and morality… comparing them to the importance of Pizza and Sushi. It started when he posted a post entitled‘Religion’and specifically comes from this line: “Arguing over religion strikes me as the same as arguing over whether sushi or pizza is better.”
