A valid moral code or standard is based on a sense, comprehension, and/or awareness of sin.

A sense of sin requires acknowledgment of an offense against God.

When God is eliminated from society, all laws, rules and personal conduct become arbitrary and preclude the necessary sense of sin.

This leaves personal choices and opinions to dictate conduct without regard to others.

Likely, this may be the cause of the hatred, violence and lawlessness we are witnessing.

• Therefore, how can there be any hope of individual or governmental fairness, justice or responsibility in the world if there is no sense of offense against God?
