I read the book Stealing From God a few years ago by Frank Turek, and it highlights the intellectual CRIMES people make when denying God. "CRIMES" stands for C ausality, R eason, I nformation, M orality, E vil and S cience.
For example, you see today the concept of choice thrown around by the pro-abortion crowd. Choice involves freedom to choose, which is a Biblical moral concept. But if borrowed from God in the secular world, what is good, often becomes perverted and a shadow of the truth.
They must borrow the moral concept of choice from God to make their case. It is a crime to steal what God intends for good and use it dishonestly to promote moral evil.
If the infant who God calls a living human being has no choice in the matter of life, then a perversion of choice has occurred.
Without God, choice is none existent in a natural materialist world. The metaphysical concepts of the mind are considered the physical form of the brain. We simply are only reacting by chemical responses to the environment. The survival of the fittest in a random natural selection of a response to the world around us.
Basically, intelligent animals acting on instincts as we go through the motions of survival. The philosophical concept of morality is only within the idea that the ends justify the means to survive: no rhyme or reason, no right or wrong, no truth except the reality of every individual. The murderer simply acts on instinct just as much as the sexual predator—no justice in the world of the animal kingdom.
So I conclude by showing why the secularist has to steal from God in order to live in a society.
Society may resemble nothing of choice, but hypocritically only the majority and not the class of people considered the minorities would have a choice.
But even then, it will only be the elite of the majority who dictate the choices allotted to their dystopian society.
