How Do We Behave?

[fr0d0]

Frodo - the perfect moral is not clear. Over the world hundreds of factions are trying hard to find the best way to interpet the bible, and they all get different results. And really, I'd rather not condone slavery as part of the 'perfect moral'. Just an example.

I think much of our morals have progressed. Yes, I'd certainly call it progression against the ages where witchburning, crusades and slavery were accepted, and excused with, or even caused by the bible.

I think you and I have the capacity to know Girlysprite. What you are talking about illustrates the point perfectly. It was the secular morality of the time that slavery was right. The biblical angle promotes fair treatment that would put to shame most of dealings with people over other people nowadays.

Sure people have abused the bible by being amoral using it as their excuse. No one could ever say that they were following Christ or being perfectly moral.
