Problem is, without God, nobody really knows what ‘good’ is.

I don't seem to have a problem figuring out how to keep on people's good side and stay out of trouble.

This is just a competing idea in the marketplace of ideas. Churches advertise all the time to get people from one religion to another, or to attract people who really don't have any firm religious faith. Let them spend their money any way they want to.

This is the Oprah world view...all roads lead to God...

Relative moralism and no absolute truth is the way of the humanists.

“I don’t seem to have a problem figuring out how to keep on people’s good side and stay out of trouble.”

Well that’s good for you - I suppose it has nothing to do with being brought up in a Judeo Christian country. I suppose you see no difference then in what you do and what a Muslim would do in another country. It’s all a bit relative to you!

“Look Ahamed there’s a pretty goat and nobody will mind as long as we don’t get on anybody’s bad side and get into trouble.”

Even though a lot of Christians tend to nitpick other people, good and evil are fairly obvious because we have been countries that reflected God’s Law - now we are changing to into countries where their is no Absolute Truth just the truth of the individual - all evil is possible from there.
