New Moral Code
For generations, there has been an agreed moral code in Western nations which centred around basic Christian ethics. It was the foundation of our legal system. This has changed and a new moral code has emerged. Authors Lyons and Kinnaman wrote that there are new guiding principles, here are four:
1. To find yourself, look within yourself
2. People should not criticise someone else’s life choices
3. To be fulfilled in life, pursue the things you desire most
4. Enjoying yourself is the highest goal in life
We are so used to these principles that we don’t notice them anymore. But we need to see that this has been a massive shift. We have moved from looking to a creator God as our central motivation, to ourselves.
Humanity now worships itself. Is this how we want to live?
