In this section Schultze describes how sin transforms our communication. He discusses it as a "glamorous weapon of destruction". We put aside our gift of communication and use it against each other. Common examples Schultze uses are: being convinced we are right, corruption, domination and greed.
Since the fall of humanity, we have had communication struggles. It is always better to get ahead, be right, be better, than to work out with the skills of communication. Businesses lure in individuals with communication with products that are not beneficial for them.
Even, though I agree with using communication negatively, I again find a disagreement with Schultze's view. I think education on communication can help and create a better communicating environment. And while the ideas of joyful music, drama, and prose sounds lovely, it is again creating a selfish reality (84). It is important to understand their is evil and I think communicating darkness, is a good way to create change.
Question: Other than sin, for secularists, what creates "immoral" communication? What are ways to overcome immoral communication?
Perhaps a secularist thinks it's "immoral" to shackle free speech?
