The moral commands to live holy, be faithful to your wife etc. is one thing. I think the aspect of social morals and how they were linked to religion as codex as group morals but also as a thing, which influenced peoples behavior by giving the expectancy of a coming judgment by the creator of the world; even agnostics and atheists agreed on this here many times. (at least the first point)
Christians would agree with me when I point to the spiritual deadness of the world and the depravity and corruption of the human soul, which can only bring God and his Spirit back in alignment when man turns to God.
But I want to point out a more practical, but hopefully by all kinds of readers understandable factors
Because when there is a God who said: "I am the way the truth and the life"
and who said: "‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’"
and also said: "But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. "
this changes also something in the relationship a man has to women or earthly pleasures.
Imagine a society, where these truths are at least 50% internalized in men's minds and lived by. There would no porn epidemic, there would no simping, no twitch Tiktok Thotery and vanity, men would have the leverage over women because they fall in worth, when God become the real worth and their real dependency in their life, not some chicks attention, eye pleasure or approval by other guys because of abundant pussy access. It is not only a lack of morals and guidance in females which feeds hypergamy, narcissism and looks vanity, but the men, who put all their energy, love, and heart into the approval of these chicks and striving for wind in this world.
Yes, lookism is still a reality in the church, but idolatry over the female creation doesn't take place.
