What is Indifference?

Listen to the audio version of this content

Question:

What is meant by "indifference"?

Answer:

Indifference means that we have an attitude that either something doesn’t matter or that disparate things are essentially the same.

Indifference can manifest itself in the false idea that because God is merciful we can sin without consequence.

Indifference can also manifest itself in a resignation that because bad things happen then we are not obligated to resist evil or do good.

Indifference of religion is the false notion that most or all religions are essentially the same and none contains more truth than another.
