A worldview is simply someone’s relatively organized understanding of what the world is actually like.

Worldview

According to “matter-ism,” matter is all that exists. The only things that are real are physical things in motion governed by natural law. That story starts, “In the beginning were the particles,” or, as one famous person put it, “The cosmos is all that is, or ever was, or ever will be.” No God. No souls. No Heaven or Hell. No miracles. No transcendent morality. Just molecules in motion following the patterns of natural law. This is the story that most atheists, most “skeptics,” most humanists, and most Marxists believe is true.

Almost everyone agrees the world is not the way it ought to be. It’s called the problem of evil.

Always make it a goal to keep your conversations cordial. Sometimes that will not be possible. If a principled, charitable expression of your ideas makes someone mad, there’s little you can do about it. Jesus’ teaching made some people furious. Just make sure it’s your ideas that offend and not you, that your beliefs cause the dispute and not your behavior.

Christianity is actually “true Truth,” as Francis Schaeffer used to put it. God really does exist, Heaven actually is real (along with Hell), Jesus really did live and He did the things the historical records – the Gospels – say He did, the resurrection of Christ really happened, and there really is hope each of us can count on for “the kind of perfect world our hearts have always longed for.”

Every religion, every philosophy, every individual outlook on life tells a story of reality.

Every worldview has its ambiguities – debatable elements that people simply will not see to eye on. There’s nothing wrong with that as long as the disagreement is principled and dignified. I actually think that arguments – as opposed to quarrels – are good things because they’re the best way to figure out what’s true. Share your reasons, listen carefully to each other, be nice, and may the best idea win.

Everyone has a belief system in his or her mind, a story about the way they think the world actually is, even if they haven’t thought about it much or worked out all the details.
