In fairness, I can see why laws would be useful to a person who utterly lacks a moral sense...........and that's precisely what we use them for, in the main. To compel people who just don't know better, or wouldn't care even if they did. Simpletons and aberrant minds. OFC, we end up dragnetting people compelled to commit crimes by their situation. The starving man who steals bread does know better and does care but he can't help but do it. It's unfortunate that it happens...but it's also amusing that gods law, in his great beneficent omniscience...... appears to be flawed in precisely this same way. Unlike our laws, however, god only has the one punishment. The harshest punishment..regardless of the nature of the crime or perpetrator.
Judge Jeff, super good at law, too!
Without ignoring the rest of your post, it is obvious that human laws require the human element of moral sensibility, as you put it, common sense and compassion - to judge the various situations where the law has been broken.
"Moral sensibility"
Can it be defined or not?
I believe it can be defined by the law of God, and I challenge anyone to tell me what is wrong with the law of God.
The ten laws are,
Don't kid yourself,
Don't make an idiot of yourself,
Don't say retarded stuff,
Give yourself a break,
Get on with your parents,
Be generous,
Be faithful,
Be nurturing,
Mind your own business,
and Don't be jealous.
