"You shall not follow a crowd to do evil; nor shall you testify in a dispute so as to turn aside after many to pervert justice." (Exodus 23:2)

Sailors in the northern oceans have frequently observed icebergs traveling in one direction in spite of strong winds blowing in the opposite direction. The icebergs were moving against the winds, but how? The explanation is that the icebergs, with most of their bulk under the water's surface, were caught in the grip of strong currents that moved them in a certain direction, no matter which way the winds blew.

Likewise, no matter how strongly the teachings of uninspired men are blowing, and no matter how corrupt are the morals of an evil society, the Christian continues to be carried along by God's righteous law.
