When did morality become relative? When did good and evil stop being black and white — and become shades of gray? When did thieves and murderers stop being predators and become the oppressed victims of a corrupt system?
Those are the fruits of moral relativism. It holds that there is no absolute right or wrong — what one culture considers "wrong," another will consider "right." It is the philosophy that good and evil are constructs of human beings — not laws of God.
There are two social frameworks for occupants of our world — "might makes right" and divine law.

Must read.
By and large ,our uniparty and the globalists among us, the political class, has forsaken God, morality and natural law.
But God does exist, as does Lucifer.
And as much damage done by Madeline Murray O’Hare, Obama has done and will do far more to divide us from the divine.

It's so simple. Our collective governments have millions of laws on the books but our civilization is failing because many people do not accept the ten rules that God put on a couple of stone tablets.

There is no better use of one's time than to ponder the ways of God. Prayer, study of His Word, and Christian fellowship.
It still overwhelms me at times when I think about our very existence. All this stuff. Designed to function in an orderly way.
That there is a Designer is unquestionable. Yet He existed eternally. I believe He wants us to have a limited understanding of Him,
while on this Earth. That keeps us in awe.

What is truly marvelous about God and the Scripture is the complete and utter brevity of speech and written words. Not a single word is unnecessary nor wasted. Compare such to government regulations.

Diagnosis:
Paul wrote to Timothy,
"But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people." NIV, 2 Timothy 3:1 – 5. NIV
Cure:
At the close of the Last Supper, shortly before his suffering in the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus Christ said to his apostles,
"These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." John 16:33. KJV

What's sad is humanity hasn't progressed much beyond 'Might make right'. They have no sense of ethics or values, no sense of right or wrong, no sense of a rule of law. The sense of 'might makes right' probably dates back to an era in human history where humans didn't even have the concept of civilization. Probably before religion. Humanity wasn't more intelligent than the animals around them. Life was ignorant, violent, brutal, painful, and short. Most humans never reached a ripe old age. Humanity is still dealing with the vestiges of that era. Be thankful God pointed humanity in the right direction. We wouldn't have survived otherwise. Imagine what humanity would be like if we did not have anything like the Ten Commandments. God is still pointing humanity in the right direction and it's still a matter of survival. It is important to realize God exists and does care about us. God is the only thing keeping us from destroying one another.

There is only one source for laws...it's the Ten Commandments that Moses brought down from the mountain on stone tablets...if you follow them...you will live a good life...and if God chosen you to bear the standard...then so be it....

When a person looks at the Ten Commandments, they also realize what they should value. It becomes the foundation for society and civilization.

Among the most comical theatrics in today's societal kabuki presentations are the transvestite activists who claim they are created as they are, in the image of God, even as they are in the very act of rebelling against His explicit condemnations of their perversions.
They will sow that to which they reap...I read that somewhere.

Eventually, the moral relativists will consume themselves just like the Jacobeans in the French Revolution. Their focus is only on worldly power, money and prestige. Christians are in the world but are not of the world. We are only pilgrims on this earth journeying towards our true Home. As #5 reminded us, Christ proclaimed, "I have overcome the world."
