The pattern that the secular world goes by when the Bible is not the foundation for objective Truth (aka 'The fear of the Lord')...
Objective - (of a person or their judgment) not influenced by personal feelings or opinions in considering and representing facts.
Moral Relativism (or Ethical Relativism) - is the position that moral or ethical propositions do not reflect objective and/or universal moral truths, but instead make claims relative to social, cultural, historical or personal circumstances.
Instead of listening to minutes and hours of pointless reasoning from some educated (uneducated) dingbat to ultimately make decisions as to what I believe, I have found it much easier and 100% reliable to just believe what the Bible says about 'controversial' topics.
For example, the Bible clearly condemns the 56,000,000+ Abortions that happen every year (and the buying and selling of the babies body parts in the name of 'women's health care'). This results in a very easy decision to be a pro-life Christian...Jesus was pretty Pro-Life!
'1Therefore I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies [dedicating all of yourselves, set apart] as a living sacrifice, holy and well-pleasing to God, which is your rational (logical, intelligent) act of worship.
2 And do not be conformed to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs], but be transformed and progressively changed [as you mature spiritually] by the renewing of your mind [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His plan and purpose for you].'
Romans 12:1-2 (AMP)
Many things that happen in the natural have an effect in the supernatural. With so many babies being murdered and self-professing Christians led by their carnal feelings/emotions to support this injustice...we should not be surprised if there are more school shootings and murders. These are parallels from the supernatural into the natural. God's Word is a legal document at the end of the day. If He said in Genesis that blood is required for blood, the Law has not been abolished for the unrighteous. Christ only came to fulfill its prophecies and make a way to be counted in right standing with YHWH.
'17 “Do not think that I came to do away with or undo the Law [of Moses] or the [writings of the] Prophets; I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. 18 For I assure you and most solemnly say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke [of the pen] will pass from the Law until all things [which it foreshadows] are accomplished. 19 So whoever breaks one of the least [important] of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, will be called least [important] in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever practices and teaches them, he will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 “For I say to you that unless your righteousness (uprightness, moral essence) is more than that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.' Matthew 5:17-20 (AMP)
'1 And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth. 2 The fear and the terror of you shall be [instinctive] in every animal of the land and in every bird of the air; and together with everything that moves on the ground, and with all the fish of the sea; they are given into your hand. 3 Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you; I give you everything, as I gave you the green plants and vegetables. 4 But you shall not eat meat along with its life, that is, its blood. 5 For your lifeblood I will most certainly require an accounting; from every animal [that kills a person] I will require it. And from man, from every man’s brother [that is, anyone who murders] I will require the life of man.

“Whoever sheds man’s blood [unlawfully],
By man (judicial government) shall his blood be shed,
For in the image of God
He made man.

“As for you, be fruitful and multiply;
Populate the earth abundantly and multiply in it.”' Genesis 9:1-7 (AMP)
