COMMENT: To invoke a religious term, such as the reference to the "Old Testament", to simply mean that they are to revert to the old ways of doing things is quite unnecessary and belittling of religious terms. This lack of respect is what contributes to the overall irreverence towards God. "And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter" (Isaiah 59:14).
