So Very True...
When God is left out of the situation then it goes evil...
Unfortunately it is not the lack of laws but what we have here is the failure to obey God! It is actually a heart problem: where our heart(soul) is not in sync with the righteous laws of God!
Laws never stop crime or other actions - laws just bring attention to them!
It is up to us to learn to observe and then decide to freely obey the righteous laws....
