Golden Rule as Guidance for Law
Matthew 7
It seems to me that jesus clearly wants the golden rule to be a basis for law or at least morality.
12 So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.

SUMS UP THE LAW
sometimes it just comes down to "words mean things".
like "shall not be infringed" means something.

Watch your step. Words do mean things. You should try practicing that rule sometime.Originally Posted by AHZ

The "Golden Rule" pre-dates Jesus Christ as a written idea, and what Christ wishes means nothing to non-Christians rendering it an exclusive rule. Try selling it as "proposed" law based on its idealism rather than a single religion, inclusive for all people.

Those are two different things. The golden rule is not the basis for law but it could be a basis for morality.
So could this.

You can't legislate morality.

all laws are an attempt at that.
you're severely out of touch with humanity.

They may attempt, but that doesn't mean it can be done. You can't legislate "do unto others..."

Why not fj...?
The Democrats, DNC, Congress, and Biden White House
are trying to Legislate Morality by ignoring laws every day.
YOU should be telling THEM, not we members of D.P.
DO UNTO OTHERS for Democrats is....ONLY WHAT WE TELL YOU TO DO!

I may be older than most. I may say things not everybody will like.
But despite all of that. I will never lower myself to the level of Liars, Haters, Cheats, and Hypocrites.
