    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.

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

    it's a basis. not a fully formed legal system.

    of course details will be filled in.

    you basically can use it to legislate truth be told.

    do you want to be murdered?

    stolen from?

    exploited? oh theres the rub isn't it. corporatists want to exploit and treat poorly, maximizing profit above all else.

    business is not a moral framework. Business must occur inside an overarching moral framework that takes other considerations into consideration.

    what are laws if not an attempt to legislate some form of morality?

    Next thing you know you end up with a government based on your warped sense of morality. Be serious. If you truly believed in following the Golden Rule you wouldn't be insulting people and/or hijacking threads that promote actual discussion. Nothing about you makes me think Golden Rule anything except where I haven't banned you for eternity.

    maybe not fully.

    but all laws are an attempt at legislating enough basic morality to have a peaceful and productive society conducive to human thriving.

    are you an anarchist?

    what are laws if not legislating a basic morality?

    Crazy nonsensical rantings from an arbitrary overlord that must be obeyed for no comprehensible reason?

    sounds like a retard society.

    keep austin weird. <--- I support this one.

    keep morality arbitrary.

    keep religion crazy.


    the separation of church and state is not intended to be a separation of humanity from morality, morality being rational.
