What is right and wrong? Theism would contend that “ethics is transcendent and is based on the character of God as good (holy and loving).” If God is truly prime reality, then he would mandate a moral universe if in fact, morality is an aspect of the nature of God. Simply because people differ in their moral judgments does not negate the fact that some sort of morality from someone’s point of view is either being obeyed or disobeyed. Theism would teach that since God has created a moral universe, there is a universal standard for how morality is judged—God himself. Jesus came to earth and displayed true morality in its purest form: love. Romans 5:8 says that “God demonstrated his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” God is the ultimate authority on morality. By setting mandates for how Brazil would become a democratic state, inherently they were implying that actions suppressing this pursuit were wrong. They are legislating a certain standard of morality and creating branches of government to create, execute, and judge those laws. Ultimately, they are stating that morality is not relative and are creating a system where it can thrive. However, the question has to be answered if the Brazilian government continues to adhere to this Theistic worldview. It is a difficult situation to judge since a government itself is made up of hundreds and thousands of people all with their own individual thought processes. Nevertheless, amid the increasing number of corruption scandals taking place in its government, it would appear that Brazil is approaching a more secular form of government that seeks to serve those in power as opposed to the citizens
