In society we need authority to keep order. Without authority society would go into total chaos and madness. Some people will encourage questioning authority, because they thinks that's how society will evolve.

On the island from Lord of the Flies, there was no authority figure to keep the boys in line. Without the authority figure the boys ended up killing two people. Once the boys see the naval officer, what they had done finally hit them, and they knew what they had done could never be forgiven.

At the end of the day God is the all powerful authority. People will always have authority on earth but God is will always be the only authority that truly matters.

Humans will always want to question authority and God and think that their lives will be better without them. That's what the boys in Lord of the Flies wanted to think, that they didn't need authority and they were going to be okay. Humans will always need someone or God to keep them in order, because without authority the world would be madness.
