There is a reason the western world is founded on Christianity teachings.
The 10 commandments come from God not man. Thy shall not kill. Thy shall not steal. Thy shall not lie. Etc.
Because these a hood laws to follow to keep the peace. You don’t need a government to enforce these rules. You just need teach your kids Christian values.
i am all for religious morals, but without real world punishment it wont work
i was raised catholic, sunday school from 6yo to 18yo
it just thought me something i understood along the way
treats other like you want to be treated, dont step on other people
do you think all christians obide by that? i know they dont, the worst people i know personally are very religious
im not anymore, if there is a god, i will meet him with my head held high knowing i did well by others
i dont pray, dont go to church or spread the word, i just do the best by the people i meet
We all have failed to uphold the commandments. I agree whoever has committed a sin such as murder and rape deserve to be disciplined for their crime.
But you don’t need a state enforce it. A community can get together and choose the punishment.
ohh, so people could use biblical punishments?
like, "let him who is without sin cast the first stone"
it will be a stoning fest, without a single stone thrown
sarcasm asside, public opinion is too easy to manipulate
the west in general is in decline because family values and decency were traded for obsenity and greed
TV manipulation and lowering education standards dont help either
rough times ahead and it doesnt look like decent values will be reinstated anytime soon, reason i moved out of the city to a rural place
You are right. 1 sin plus 1 sin doesn’t make a right.
This is why I don’t think statism is right either.
Central planned decision making makes sense for local communities with shared values.
But nationally for this multi-cultural world we now live where everyone has different vision of they wish the world to be. It caused certain groups to be silenced over others.
Local free market places like the hood old days is the way to do it imo.
local rules set by locals is definitely better than goverment rulled by a bunch that never left their little cocoon other than in election years
politicians dont have people's best interest at heart
Very well put
