​9. No Good Without God

I think about evil, its hypocritical glint.

A life is always a life unless I don’t want it to be.

What I do with my body is my own business unless I make it somebody else’s.

There are no truths in this world except my own.

We paint a morally relative picture, and yet we still want to define what is bad and what is good.

But here’s the thing about that: there is no bad, no good without God.

Because if there is no ultimate judgment, there is no ultimate truth. We really are free to create our own realities, and if my reality makes you mad, sad, or scared, well, that’s a bit too bad now isn’t it?

It stings, the guilt that eats a heart. It hurts those wrongs we try so hard to close our eyes to.

Because no matter how tight we shut them, still, somebody else is always watching.
