I prefer to look at the law as part of a system which controls the power of the state. Our way of doing things has been judged by history to be extremely good compared to other ways. Whether it will continue to be so, whether we can adapt to whatever new circumstances we must face, is always unknown.

Societies are complex indeed. I believe there is a spiritual battle going on as well, a literal battle over our souls.

I think all human endeavors are flawed. After all, we are human ;-)

You are certainly correct even though I, as an unbeliever, might have phrased it differently.
