He did say "Outside of theology."
From your link:
Quote:Natural law (Latin: ius naturale, lex naturalis) is a philosophy asserting that certain rights are inherent by virtue of human nature, endowed by nature—traditionally by God or a transcendent source(emphasis is mine)
I misunderstood him. I thought he was asking for a non religious source explaining what natural law was.
Yes, Natural Law is tied to the belief that God exists and that we can understand and determine morality through reason and observation of the world. I never claimed otherwise.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
