You and I could debate this forever and never resolve the question.

So here's my question....If all the laws were gone, what would be the reaction of the people?

I throw that out to everyone...how moral are we????

Probably could be a separate thread.

My dad used to say laws and locks were made for honest people.

I know if they waived the speed laws, it would be chaos. Nobody would drive 55 when they were late for work.

Stealing, looting is already big, so bo doubt if nothing was illegal it be chaos

Even cheating or murder or most wrong doings, we feel the consequences.

When the Bible says it 5000 years ago, I dont think it would matter either way

God needs to show up again.

I think you're seeing my point....It's the laws that keep us moral not a compass inside us and over time even the most moral of us would join in the chaos just to stay alive

Yeah, but I don't think murder falls in that category. We don't not kill because it's the law.

But it's more than just laws. If every person was convinced of God and Heaven, we wouldn't need laws.
