A friend of mine and I have had an on-again, off-again conversation over the years about what we like to call The Three Big Lies™. Various combinations of these three lies form the foundation of almost every evil, from abortion and transgender ideology to more mundane evils like divorce and envy. It is worth spending the time to dive deeply into the issues of the day to assess how these three lies may be present in the culture's more prevalent ideas about them.

The Three Big Lies™ are:

There is no God.

God doesn't love you.

You are God.

On the surface these three lies seem to be mutually exclusive. But on a deeper level, we see that they are like the three primary colors an artist mixes in various proportions to make the exact color he's looking for. A little bit of this lie, a whole lot of that one, and a smidgen of the third, all mixed together create a new lie of a particular "color," often just the right color we need to convince us that the evil to which we are attracted is really a good.
