Ravi Zacharias via myPod

Addiction, Moral Responsibility, and the Atlanta Spa Massacre


Listen Later

CSLR at Emory University


In March of this year, Robert Aaron Long claimed his sex addiction was responsible for his shooting spree in Atlanta-area spas that resulted in the deaths of eight people, the majority of whom were Asian women.And in the Christian evangelical sphere, Ravi Zacharias is merely one of countless examples of men in positions of power who claim they have a sex addiction--an assertion that too often allows them to sidestep allegations of sexual violence.This appeal to sex addiction, for Dr. Kevin Jung of Wake Forest University, can be seen as "playing the addiction card," and in his Canopy Forum article, he poses an important question:If someone is an addict, does that mean they are immune from moral responsibility?Listen now.Professor John Witte, Jr.'s new book, "The Blessings of Liberty," is available for purchase here.
