To repeat, belief is a choice.
Proof is another thing.
The only way to know anything is by way of our perceptions.
Perceptions are one hundred percent subjective.
Good and bad are human terms and do not oblige the universe to conform.
One man's immorality is another man's lifestyle.
That's why political compromise and agreement, along with equitable enforcement of civil law, is so essential to a Sentient society.
In a land of many competing Religions, Government ROCKS!!
"One man's immorality is another man's lifestyle."
So....who are the folks who find the Ten Commandments immoral?
Immoral? That would be in the eye of the beholder...
I would imagine that the people who like to share their spouses with other swingers find those rules a little inconvenient, ass-u-me-ing they give them a thought at all.
I would also imagine that those who do give it a thought, really appreciate their 21st Century freedoms. Morality is an attitude, and attitudes are subject to change.
For that reason, civil law matching up with religious code is always a good reflection on both the Religion and the Civilization. In a society such as ours, with so many organized and unprovable religious opinions, each one backed by a full faith and measure of human animal passion, with the most popular ones openly and sometimes violently competing to be THE dominant list of rules to live by, unless a religion rises to the top through a performance of the miraculous to the satisfaction of a majority of The People in a community, Civil Law MUST take precedence. All faiths must agree on a basic set of rules, and if compromise insists that the Civil List turns out to be a fat seven out of Ten with regard to any given religion, tough titty said the kitty when the milk ran dry with regards to the other three. Church leadership can only hold THEIR followers to the full list of Ten.
If The People decide that marriage licenses should be issued without restrictions and treated like learners permits, religious opposition becomes irrelevant unless the religion is able to sway The People to make a change through the legislative process. If The People find conflict among their ranks over such an issue, freedom should take precedence over restriction during the process of working it out.
Yeah, sometimes I'm just a big ol' Libertarian.
