Drunkenness

You are not born with knowledge of what is right and wrong, you learn it.

I recall as a kid hearing a conversation among adults and they were discussing someone who had said or done something really inappropriate. One guy said "well you got to cut him some slack, he was just drunk". Another guy said "no, booze only lowers inhibitions and makes a man act how he really is".

I suppose it could be a mixed bag, also. The same person could in the same evening say something they wouldn't otherwise, and really mean it, and also say something which is just drunken goofiness that they really don't mean.

I can believe that. Just because you drank, it does not automatically make you a drunk.

I used to believe this until the Holy Spirit said other wise...

When the Unbelievers sin, they will be destroyed, even though they never had God’s written law.

And the Jews, who do have God’s law, will be judged by that law when they fail to obey

Even Unbelievers who do not have God’s written law, show that they know his law when they instinctively obey it, even without having heard it. They demonstrate that God’s law is written in their hearts, for their own conscience and thoughts either accuse them or tell them they are doing right.

And this is the message I proclaim—that the day is coming when God, through Christ Jesus, will judge everyone’s secret life. (Romans 2)

I guess the Holy Spirit doesn't bother to tell the sociopaths who are Christian (not that all sociopaths are Christian) that other human lives have value then.

If a sociopath truly does not know right from wrong, God being good and just, would judge a sociopath justly and righteously, for the sociopath is mentally ill.
