Once in adult Sunday School* the question before our group was something like, "What do you have to believe if everything else is gone?" The answers were interesting, and sometimes surprising. My own answer was, I have to believe that there is such a thing as right and wrong. Even more than a belief in God, I need to know that there is a good we should strive toward and an evil that must be recognized and resisted. I have always felt that way, though I admit that my ability to do both was sharpened when I became a Christian. I didn't have what you'd call a particularly religious upbringing; honestly, the moral lessons I remember best as a kid were the ones I got from my Batman and Superman comics. ("Batman is cool. Batman believes in truth and justice. Therefore truth and justice must be cool, too." Hey, it worked.)

*It's like regular Sunday School, only with booze and porn.**

**I'm KIDDING! Sheesh.
