"Okay, I will take your word for it that these pre-date Christ."

Could be a huge mistake if the person whose word your taking is a secular humanist, new ager, agnostic, etc. See the Pentatouch (sp?) -- the first five books of the Old Testament, the Law, predate most all recorded history.

It doesn't matter if they do predate Christ. People are able to discern moral truth becaue they are made in God's image. This is no reflection at all on Christ. So what if some pagans got some things right? Good for them.
