Terrifically complex indeed!

If we tried to simplify those factors, perhaps we would call them “natural law”.

Something which would be inherent to nature: “we hold these truths to be self evident”

That type of law is what we call “the law on our hearts” -the source of which is what we call God.

To understand it better I look at the results:

When this natural law is followed:

History sees great civilizations of justice and times of peace, both within and without the individual.

When the natural law is broken: we see tyrants, anger, suffering, war, etc. Again, at the macro and/or micro level.

History is full of good things twisted into evil, and those using religion aggressively is another example.

Christians are commanded to reserve both judgement and revenge to God- so any who would accuse you, living with sin themselves, would be outside of the law.
