Tiger Woods—2

I have one more thought I would like to express on Tiger Woods.  Since the 1960s, our culture has done everything it can to overthrow the traditional view of marriage.  Movie after movie proclaims that infidelity in marriage is no big thing and that everyone has a right to satisfy their every desire, regardless of who gets hurt along the way.  Adultery is no longer seen as a shameful betrayal of a sacred vow but merely inappropriate behavior.  Many justify unfaithfulness in marriage completely.  An affair with someone new may be needed now and then in order to have a fulfilled life.  But despite decades of this indoctrination, people cannot escape the feeling that adultery is still wrong.  If people really lived by what many today profess to believe, no condemnation would be attached to Tiger Woods’ actions.  But the concept of right and wrong has not been totally lost.  The conscience can be abused, ignored and hardened, but it can never be completely silenced.  Most people still believe that what Tiger Woods did was wrong.  Even those with no knowledge of the law of God will still manifest a moral sense that  condemns some actions while approving of others (see Romans 2:14-15).
