How funny, I have always thought of governments as highly organized gangs. Some gangs are run by brute force, some by elites in the organization and some with consent of the members.

Any laws to be created must first be based on some concept of what is right or wrong. Without any notion of sin, there is no basis for any laws, since my definition of right or wrong is just as valid as my neighbor’s. Absent a moral foundation established by the Almighty there is only “might makes right.”
