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?
“When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle.” Edumnd Burke
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.

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?
