The natural law, which is pre-political, is imprinted on the souls of every human being by God. An atheist can live a moral life by recognizing and living by the natural law, even if they don’t know God. IAW, they can live a moral life because of the gift God has given them.

Fascinating comment. Thanks.

Could you theorize about natural law in the absence of God's existence. (even though you may not hold that position)? This seems to be my friends position, which I find puzzling.
