I should have written “with or without BELIEF in God”.
Thank you for your reply. I wholeheartedly concur:
Joshua 24:15 (NIV)
15 But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”
It is hard to see but we are in a time where those perishing are trying to norm their behaviors. I believe it will backfire.
