    https://www.britannica.com/topic/Golden-Rule
    Golden Rule, precept in the Gospel of Matthew (7:12): “In everything, do to others what you would have them do to you. . . .” This rule of conduct is a summary of the Christian’s duty to his neighbour and states a fundamental ethical principle.



    that's "fundamental ethical principle".

    That the idea of mutual cooperation and courtesy isn't solely a Christian idea. Let's take apart your usual Stoopid:

    Did I state Christ never stated the "Golden Rule"? Bzzzt. No.

    Mutual cooperation and courtesy is the cornerstone of civilization/society and comes into play as a matter of survival when removed from an artificial/superficial society that exists polishing chairs with its asses in front of technology. When people band together as a means of survival they have to get along or banding together for survival is pointless.

    As far as my response in your thread of ever-changing goal posts goes, when you appeal only to Christians, you exclude the rest of the World. Since you place so much emphasis on what a perfect rule the Golden Rule is, it needs to appeal to all. If it does not, you lose support for your idea.

    What's more important? The idea that benefits all? Or your petty, ignorant myopia?

    I didn't say it was solely christian.


    Im not appealing only to christians.

    as you said confucius said it too.

    the idea and the benefits from the idea are most important.

    I propose the golden rule be seen as more important than the nicene creed.

    are you going to now call me a heretic?

    Does complex thought elude you? How about remembering what you previously posted?

    You are using Jesus Christ as the justification for whatever it is you think about the Golden Rule. This isn't hard math

    Not to mention in my previous post I presented you with reasoning for applying it to all.

    Im saying the golden rule is innately rational and that drew me toward christianity.

    the golden rule justifies itself, as can be corroborated by other historical moral figures, as you have noted.

    Your original arguments on this topic stated nothing of the sort.

    You are fortunate this board is not a court of law. Nice to see you learned something from me (sort of). Plagiarist

    So now that "you" have established the Golden Rule as an ethical idea that would benefit all, how do you apply it to the reality of Mankind?

    You wish to impose ethics as universal law (no globalism there)? How would you go about this?

    I believe they did.

    The title of one thread was "morality is rational" the one you closed, which was the best thread in that forum.

    morality starts at home, in every interaction.

    I don't wish to impose anything.

    I've only stated fact; morality is rational.

    I'm not doing this circle jerk with you again. You may not have a life, but I do. It doesn't include arguing with stupid people who can't learn even the simplest crap. Like English
