I just sat in on a conversation where two people who do not believe in the authority of the Bible were talking about the complexities of the problems in this godless world.  They had a very intense and serious discussion and very strong opinions. If you take away the Bible, then what is the basis of the opinion on moral issues?  Every method of making such decisions violates what we know about logic.  I’m sure that the precepts of post-modernism and relativism and rationalism would be invoked, but none of those propositions are based in logic.  Following that path is exactly what got society to its current state.

Romans 1:21-22 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.  Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools 

The drift of society into godlessness over the last century and a half has led us into a terrible situation.  The godless acknowledge that the situation is terrible.  What is interesting is that their cure is more godlessness.
