Government IS Religion applied to Economics.
Governments pass laws, according to what society thinks is right or wrong, which is based on morality/religion.
"Governments pass laws, according to what society thinks is right or wrong, which is based on morality/religion."
So true. One of the vapid banalities of moral relativism is this:
"You can't legislate morality."
Thou shalt not kill.
Thou shalt not steal.
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
What are the laws restricting such behavior based upon then, I ask? Before I was a Christian I used to spout that illogical pap also.
What was I thinking? Answer: I wasn't thinking.
