Similar to the way we know if we're off balance.
Problem is the culture is like living all our lives on different ships where we get used to the bobbing and swaying. Yet we manage to stay upright most of the time. and have some sense of up & down and sideways.
But when someone says there's such a thing as land that does not move. That the water and ships float on.
people who've never been on land don't believe it.
And just want to trust their guts that they are standing up strait... most of the time. When they've never really every known what solid ground is.

Jesus is the Rock. God is the foundation. the objective standard. the source of morality.

Water and ships floating in space makes no sense.
Morality without a foundation somewhere makes no sense.
if there's no universal foundation then everyones personal sense of morals. up, down, sideways, is just as good as anyone elses.

You don't have to believe in God or the land if you don't want to.
You can tell people to trust their guts and personal sense of balance and the words of Davey Jones. Cause Davey jones was a wise man...maybe.
Or tell people to just check the deck of the ship. Yes, that's it's better than Nothing.
And is generally based on the land anyway.
Even though they can't see it, or even believe in it.

But the thing is if you REALLY want to get strait and level you have to reference the land.
rationally speaking.
