I'm having trouble understanding something.....is this only a good idea when it gets penciled into christs mouth, and not when it gets penciled into the mouths of others in all of those other variants? Gods plan, in this regard, seems entirely unremarkable.
If it comes from a man, it is only an opinion, which is worth nothing; philosophies and ideologies are pretty cheap to come by, and few are worth dying for, and can be argued about ad infinitum and yet never be implemented. I like chocolate, there oughtta be a law, let's kill Russia!
If it is from God, then it's kinda important. Given that Jesus actually taught, lived, and died by this rule, that might make it worth thinking about.
And if this rule undergirds all the commandments of Christ - and I hold that it does; that is, all Christ's commandments are implications of this rule - then that's significant, at least to me.
But here's the thing - when I asked if you ever wanted people to threaten you in a bid to control your behavior, you said no - thus the Golden Rule is incompatible with private property as defined in the OP.
