“The Law Without God Is An Ass” follows from the fact that without god the law has no objectivity. The law therefore justifies the existence of the lawmaker by demonstrating that without the lawmaker we would have no law. However, there is no justification for the law other than that it justifies the lawmaker. The law is an absurdity because it ultimately makes a fool of the justice system. It must systematically keep doing what is unjust to fight injustice. It creates the very conditions that it is meant to correct.
