I purified your 'charge' to "do no harm" from "do as little harm as possible." to show you the self righteousness you built into your one guideline. In that you leave yourself an out (a way reason to do harm) if you feel justified. Which again put you at the center of your own righteousness bubble. Yours is truly a righteousness drivied from self Or rather your is truly self righteousness, as apposed to the righteousness people normally refer to based on popular culture. Without even the checks and balances of culture, someone like you has a far greater chance of following the path of the unibomber or serial killer than someone bound to soceity's ideas of right and wrong.
Wow. You admonish people for embracing Poop-ular Morality at all in one breath, and prop up culture/society's system of checks balances the moment it's convenient. So, yeah...you're full of shit.
I stated that I wish to do "as little harm as possible" because it's impossible to go through life with without causing suffering or discomfort to others on some level, even that which is inadvertent or indirect. I suspect you knew that, but you still felt compelled to get your digs in, and liken me to Jeffrey Dahmer and the Unibomber.
Congratulations, on being a Mean Girl. You're doing great!
Personally, I think that some tool who believes he's achieved "righteousness" and therefore no longer bound to The Law would be more inclined to do such things; He's got a pass, after all. Under any other circumstances, would you consider guaranteed exemption from the worst consequences an effective tool for discouraging negative behavior?
With the freedom offered, our true natures are revealed. If our nature is to intentionally live in sin, then God has identified that as being evil. Which again God will not abid/forgive Evil. (which is the very problem you have with any type of morality as it protects certain sin.)
Also know my intentions are not to be mean. I am just showing you the critical flaw in your reasoning. separate 'feeling' from how you function/think. The processes you use to think are not inherently you, they are a reflection of what you were taught. They are just tools. If a better tool comes along, it doesn't mean youre a bad person for not being born with the most perfect set. It's just maybe a time for an upgrade.
