    From the biblical point of view, the further the world has drifted from God, the perfect creator, the less integrity we have in the world. Integrity has to do with ORIGINALITY and God is the origin of all things. So, away from God , away from integrity.

    Integrity is worth nothing, just like good old fashion honesty.
