God, it seems, has been relegated to a “whatever” approach where “truth” is only true for the individual. Since truth becomes relative in this approach, the choice of “right” action is rendered into whatever is fashionable for the culture or individual.
This gives birth to the pop-phrase, “What is right for you is not right for me.” Perhaps is “right” when angry individuals shoot up a school, mall or post office.. The problem is, what has the authority to say the shooter was “wrong”? Who understands truth?
If God exists, “right” must apply whether one ratifies it or not. That’s why the ideas of a God, or no God, cannot coexist.
