This situation is why states and counties have building codes. There is a “who says” needed here.

Someone with authority has given a guideline, a right and wrong way to do things. Society has thrown out our guideline, our moral code – the Bible.

With no guidelines, what is wrong with a one-foot foundation for our new building? In other words, without the “who says” in our lives, we will build our lives on foundations that lead to catastrophe.
