BIG SHAFE Posted May 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 The dangerous path is to allow an anything goes society. Exactly, along with a completely restrained society. Which I and others are arguing against. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sol740 Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 One thing that must be pointed out as well is most societies that existed outside of Christianity had a basic "moral code" that was similar in many ways to some of the ten commandments. Its basic biological morality, not biblical. A mother has a child in an indigenous tribe out in the middle of nowhere. The basic herd mentality wants to protect that child, and its mother for the purpose of self-preservation. Not because Moses got drunk and said so. Also most non-christian societies (tribal and more modern governmental) have some sort of law regarding the stealing of others property. Thieves being viewed as assholes was hardly an original idea when the 10 commandments were created. Not that the ten commandments are a bad thing, the ideas are for the most part sound. Though I hardly see too many people besides Jews keeping the Sabbath. What about the long forgotten 9th amendment ? "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." Or forget that ... what about the good old pursuit of happiness ?
