Evidence for Christianity

[Thor]

I think the golden rule covers all moral dilemna because doing unto others as you would have them do unto you does not mean killing if one is suicidal, although one could take the rule out of context and make it mean that, it means in the same way that you want people to respect your desires and wishes, you should respect theirs.

I stand by my assessment. If you enjoy pain and live by "do unto others" you could interpret that to mean you should inflict pain onto others. There is no such problem with Barker's rule.

And I could take Dan Barker's rule out of context and say what if someone likes harm, you are denying them what is pleasing to them, which is causing them more harm.

What kind of "harm" could you be referring to here? A masochist who wants you to whip them? This would not be causing harm because the masochist finds the pain to be pleasurable.

Either way I think the golden rule and Dan Barker's rule are for the most part saying the same thing, or trying to hit the same principle at least.

I'd agree. I just think Barker's rule expresses it better.
