Anything? As in everything in the universe anything?
So when my stomach tells me I'm hungry, I should fight it?
When my eyes see there is a person in the road and I should stop the car I shouldn't believe in the no killing law?
Anything? No..,
Absolute nonsense. The Bible is not "unnatural." It does indeed tell you how to behave, but it comes from the One Who made us in the first place. You can't get more natural than that.
I'm stunned and at a loss that so many disagreed. Challenge everything, but especially challenge those who would interfere with your absolute right to find and follow your own path. The right behavior for you is what feels right to you. Always.
So the law telling you not to murder should be challenged? It is the absoluteness (is that a word?) of the statement that caused me to disagree. Often, yes, maybe even most of the time, but "anything"? No.
DaveL: Again, it's an important distinction between challenge and disregard. At some point some people must have challenged the rule against killing and decided that it was okay in defense of the state or as punishment for a crime.
As far as morality is concerned: completely opposite. The natural tendency is selfishness and we will lie, steal, and kill if it's between us and anyone else. Immorality has an "us vs. them" mentality subtly underneath.
No. Kids today are over disciplined, that's why they act foolish when away from their parents. They get to act like kids, but over emphasize it since they aren't allowed to be free when their parents are around.
That's how I read it too presrvd, like... "My conscience is telling me I shouldn't rape that woman, but I'm going to question that. What if rape is the right thing to do?" Just want to clarify that's a hypothetical, I'm not actually thinking that...
