“Morality” as a generally accepted code of behavior/conduct in our pluralistic society is increasingly no longer tethered to the Bible. Do we pin it to the Golden Rule - do unto others that which we would have done to us? Or perhaps herald back to the Maxims of Roman Law something on the order of the maxim sic utere tuo ut alienum non laedas - one must use his property so as not to injure the lawful rights of another. Certainly, in the rejection of traditional Christian mores, we do not want to find ourselves with Sharia as our moral code.

So what is the “touchstone”? Would appear to be “and everyone did what was right in their own eyes.”
