If death ends all, then in the final analysis it doesn't make any difference whether I wring my neighbor's neck or shake his hand. And it doesn't make any ultimate difference whether I look after my life or recklessly snuff it out in a riot of indulgence. Much of the sickness in our community today is that in killing God, we have found nothing with which to replace Him. The whole moral value system of Western civilization was once built on belief in a Supreme Being. But civilization has run the gamut from deism to naturalism, from naturalism to nihilism, and from nihilism to despair.
Despair means life lived without significance or meaning.
Man has made for himself a lonely universe. He has a void in his heart like the void in the heart of a child whose father has died. The Bible is God's word to man. It makes no effort to prove that man is a creature of God. It simply tells us that our own conscience is the indestructible consciousness that we are related to God.
