If God is rejected, then so is the idea of an objective standard of good and evil, right and wrong. If that be the case, all moral judgments are subjective and have no weight other than what a constantly changing society wants to give to them. That means a society can support racism, sexism, rape, murder, theft, child molestation, incest, forced slavery, or any other miral “sin” imaginable and there would be no objective standard to condemn that society. On the other hand, if the Biblical God exists, there is an objective standard to judge good and evil, right and wrong across all individuals or societies in all locations throughout all time. God’s moral law (the 10 Commandments) allow for praise or condemnation of moral/immoral actions. Without it, morality is nothing but a preference, like how you prefer your steak cooked, and no one has a basis to judge anyone else.

Spot on.

Of course, Secularist Egalitarians will argue that the "objective standard" is justice and equality; mitigating any "privilege" be it cultural or genetic.

"Behold, there is a way that seemeth right unto Man, but the end thereof is destruction".

Live and learn.
