“If man is not made in the image of God, nothing then stands in the
way of inhumanity. There is no good reason why mankind should be
perceived as special. Human life is cheapened. We can see this in many
of the major issues being debated in our society today: abortion,
infanticide, euthanasia, the increase of child abuse and violence of all
kinds, pornography ... , the routine torture of political prisoners in
many parts of the world, the crime explosion, and the random viole
nce which surrounds us.”
― Francis August Schaeffer, Whatever Happened to the Human Race?
When people say "I don't believe there is a God" and they talk about
man's value, man's rights they are speaking in a contradiction. Man
cannot have happened my mere chance and then have a special value that
we must protect. Society today speaks in all kinds of double talk and
sees no problem in saying contradictory things.
