In the book, Where the Crawdads Sing, Kya, abandoned and orphaned at a very early age and left alone away from humanity to survive in a shack along the swampy marsh, learns about life from observing nature. She has no parents, guardians, or mentors to introduce her to Christ and the Gospel or to teach her infinite value as a sacred human created in God's image with a perfect and eternal purpose. She watches a firefly trick her prey by sending the mating signal of her prey's species to attract him. When her prey comes to mate with her, she eats him, piece by piece. Kya then notes that there is no room for judgment in biology for "evil was not in play here, just life pulsating on and on." Delia Owens writes, "Biology sees right and wrong as the same color in different light."
Without God as the foundation of a person's worldview, humans are viewed as no more than mere biology who operate out of innate instinct without a soul. Moral relativism is the moral code of a godless universe. It removes a context for judgment by pretending that humankind is nothing more than a biological phenomenon. It removes love, compassion, emotions, reason, artistic expression, intellectual thought, innovation, relationships, meaning and purpose from our lives and leaves us empty and worthless. Even if we could remove God and His justice from His creation, is it really worth giving up all that to allay some guilt and to try to do life our own way without Him? There would be no civilized world or society at all without some moral code to guide, instruct, and unite. Yet, a society without judgment (though this godless worldview still tends to harshly judge and punish those who reflect the Creator) is uplifted in our culture as the supreme virtue.
So, when you hear people praising that which is evil and labeling that which is good as evil, remember the firefly. When "professionals" insist that mankind cannot control their sexual desires ask yourself if rape, incest, human trafficking, pedophilia, child prostitution, polyamory, and all other forms of sexual depravity are just the natural order of things as life pulsates on and on.
When pro-abortion advocates say life in the womb has no value and should be destroyed when convenient, gaze into the face of an innocent newborn and marvel at God's handiwork or talk to families waiting to adopt a child to love. If there is any love or tenderness for that child at all, that love comes from our heavenly Father. (1 John 4:7) If a woman's body naturally sacrifices itself to put her unborn child's needs before her own throughout the pregnancy, is it really natural or morally neutral to rip that child apart, limb by limb, as the child grimaces in pain so as to seemingly make the woman's life more convenient?
As social justice warriors protest and lament what they call a violation of human rights, consider that biology promises no rights at all. Inalienable rights are given by God, so if we remove God from the equation, we lose those rights and become nothing more than a firefly, each person fighting for his or her own survival without regarding the impact our actions have upon others.
Do we really want a world without God, without love, without moral virtue? Do we want a life with no self control, no boundaries, no goodness, justice, or compassion? What is humanity without a soul? What is life without relationship? Who are we without God?
"Woe to those who call evil good and good evil,who put darkness for light and light for darkness,who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!" - Isaiah 5:20
