You can't reasonably claim that Buddhists and Hindus who have lived for centuries in the far east are taking advantage of the Judeo-Christian ethic they've never encountered. So, either morality is an innately human thing, that all people share regardless of belief, or all religions that have these similar moral prohibitions are valid expressions of spirituality.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6921935853428237245.post-10435173494627547442011-08-10T18:25:14.473-04:002011-08-10T18:25:14.473-04:00Anon - then where do you get the perceived notion ...Anon - then where do you get the perceived notion that killing and stealing are wrong? And who are you to impose that standard on others? <br /><br />You have taken advantage of the Judeo-Christian ethic for so long and are blind to it. It has protected and nurtured you for your entire life and you are completely ignorant of it. <br /><br />The words of Jesus ring true in Matthew 13:13 "Therefore I speak to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand."<br /><br />No words in this or any other blog blog will afford you sight and concomitant understanding. That is a gift from God.sig94https://www.blogger.com/profile/11460563552989533923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6921935853428237245.post-3971495305444439972011-08-10T18:19:26.808-04:002011-08-10T18:19:26.808-04:00Speaking of "poorly crafted logic", a mi...Speaking of "poorly crafted logic", a mildly clever pun might make a good retort at a cocktail party or on the playground, but it doesn't actually prove any logical point.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6921935853428237245.post-34805865468799891192011-08-10T17:51:17.577-04:002011-08-10T17:51:17.577-04:00Yup, that was exactly the word I was searching for...Yup, that was exactly the word I was searching for to describe your poorly crafted logic...

"<br /><br />Except you can't prove that after they died they really did enter into heaven, let alone your particular vision of heaven. What you say is also applicable to Hinduism and Buddhism, whose religious texts date back to 5000 BC and 500 BC respectively, and which also "guided" billions.<br /><br />Some of us don't need the perceived guidance of an invisible sky wizard to know that killing and stealing are wrong, and that life is better when you treat each other as you want to be treated. It's called common sense. You can keep your religious crutches, thanks but no thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6921935853428237245.post-33320043431793299102011-08-10T17:21:59.106-04:002011-08-10T17:21:59.106-04:00Thank-You this is the moral boost I have been need...Thank-You this is the moral boost I have been needing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6921935853428237245.post-77597772087096580152011-08-10T16:45:16.960-04:002011-08-10T16:45:16.960-04:00Anon - the OT and NT have 4500 years of oral and w...Anon - the OT and NT have 4500 years of oral and written spiritual insight that have guided and secured countless billions as they made their way into eternity. <br /><br />You in the other hand?
