 A Comment on this part of your message CJ

"Wrong-doing is governed and determined by the individual conscience."

Really? If you really believe this would you have any objection to someone coming into your house and stealing from you? If so, but that person really felt that they could justify in their own conscience what they are doing, then who are you to impose your morality on them?

I say this simply to illustrate that, like it or not, we are governed by moral absolutes. If everyone believed what they liked about morals, and there were no boundaries, the world would be in utter anarchy. Is that what you want?

This is why the morals and absolutes in the Bible are a good standard by which to base one's life by. In fact like it or not much of the laws in our lands which you enjoy the protection of originate from biblical principles.
