Can there really
be 'absolute' laws?
The recognition of an absolute law demands the existence of a law-giver.
C.S. Lewis found that he had to assume that there was a God who
gave absolute moral laws in order to complain to that God about
inconsistencies and injustice. If there's no God, then there is
no basis for complaint other than personal opinion and personal
inconvenience. The very idea of holding to an absolute standard
presupposes a creator who gave us the standards. Because without
God, there is not only no basis for moral law, there is nothing
to complain about in the universe and there's nobody to complain
to.
