What are some of the "sources of authority" that people rely on when they make decisions that involve moral choices?
    The Bible
    Other "authoritative" writings and books
    Emotions
    Logic/Common sense
    Experts/Human authorities*
    Experience (what "seems to" work--pragmatism)
    Friends/Peers
    Media/TV/Movies

    *Note that some human authorities try very hard to help us understand Biblical principles. That is why the Bible says there is safety in a multitude of counselors (Proverbs 24:6)!
