Journalist Sharyl Attkisson argues in her books, Stonewalled  . . . and The Smear . . ., that a good test of the media is to see if they treat different groups the same in their media coverage.  The media was 80% positive for Obama in 2008 and 80% negative for McCain.  So, does the media treat President Trump the same way they treated President Obama when mainstream media news is 95% negative towards Trump?  Are liberal speakers treated the same way as conservative speakers on college campuses?  Does the media treat Christians the same way they treat Muslims?  . Sharyl Attkisson argues that this test will help all Americans become critical thinkers able to evaluate the facts from propaganda that come from media types.  What does she call this test?

PROBLEM OF EVIL FOR ATHEISTS (NATURALISTS): . Every worldview (naturalism, personal theism, finite theism, Buddhism, Hinduism, etc.) has a problem of evil.  The problem for Naturalists (scientific atheists) is what? 

When Socrates and Euthyphro are talking about how acts become pious or holy, they are talking about issues in ______________. 

Ethical nihilism (or Moral Nihilism) is the view that morality is a fiction and that there are no existing valid moral principles. It also holds that moral properties such as good and evil or right and wrong have never appeared at any time in the history of the universe. 

Modern version of the “Euthyphro Dilemma” applied to Classical Theism (the God of Abraham) and morality.  Are acts good/right becase God commands them to be so, or does God command them because the acts are good/right?   The problem with the former horn of the dilemma is this:

The purpose of the “carrying or being carried argument” is to show that some things have their _______________ by themselves (regardless of the actions of others), and other things aquire properties by the actions of an external agent (person).   In this case, something becomes a thing with the property of “being carried” because of the choice of a person who picks up the object and carries it.   This is in contrast to the mass or weight of the object.  This latter property is independent of the actions of external agents.

Dallas Willard argues that a good test to see if we are truly concerned about discovering truth is to ask, ________________?

The purpose of the “carrying or being carried argument” is to show that some things have their properties by themselves (regardless of the actions of others), and other things aquire properties by the actions of an ____________________ (person).   In this case, something becomes a thing with the property of “being carried” because of the choice of a person who picks up the object and carries it.   This is in contrast to the mass or weight of the object.  This latter property is independent of the actions of an _____________________.

Augustine said, “Our hearts are restless until they rest in ____________”

Which prominent worldview in American society says that there are no universal truths (everything is relative) in ethics, science, history, religion, etc.  and everything people vote for, and believe and say is not a result of philosophical reflection and careful reasoning, but the result of non-rational forces like skin color, economic status (rich or poor), parental influence, cultural influences, sexual orientation, etc.?
