What should our ideas be based in? Loosely held opinion? Happenstance? The fad of the day? Luck of the draw?
I think our understanding of truth is a pretty good way to form our judgments.
I always thought math, history, and the wisdom of successful people were pretty important. I guess a 2000 year old book with a completely warped meaning is just as good, huh?
I'm sorry, I'm just looking for the part of the Bible where Jesus starts a war on drugs and loathes, criminilizes, and condemns "sinners" to social alienation. All I find is that all his friends were prostitutes and tax collectors - the ancient day equivalent of the immigrants and homosexuals that modern Christians like to pick on. If the people claiming Christianity acted like Jesus did, religion would be a fine way to rule.
And if socialism worked like the dictators always claim it will, that would be a fine way to rule as well.
Things just aren't that idealistic.
It's just a repackaged "relativity" argument
