Sexual Ethics – Is There A Standard?

If God does not provide the basis for ethics, who or what does? As I read the spectrum of ethical theories humanity has to offer, I can understand why students are so confused. University students study all kinds of ethical prescriptions—from the self-love of Ayn Rand’s egocentric ethics, to the unselfish love of Erich Fromm’s social ethics. You can believe that we are economically determined (Marx), or you can believe we are socially determined (Skinner). You can embrace the theory that humanity is self-determined (Sartre), or the theory that we are genetically determined (Huxley). With this plethora of ethical theories being taught, how can we help these students defend the belief that ethics must be grounded in God?
