A majority of American adults (57%) say knowing what is right or wrong is a matter of personal experience. At the same time, a majority (59%) also agrees “the Bible provides us with absolute moral truths which are the same for all people in all situations, without exception.” David Kinnaman, president of Barna Group which conducted the research, calls it "widespread cognitive dissonance" and says, "When we peel back the layers, we find that many Christians are using the way of Jesus to pursue the way of self."
