IF history shows us anything it shows us that is absolutely not true - we continuially fail to treat others as we would like to be treated. Constantly. The fact we intuitively acknowledge the righteousness of this standard none of consistently can or do live up to, a standard which cannot be proved rationally; a standard nobody imposes morally on any other "animal" but humans; is, for me, a very persuasive proof of the existance of God.
Like I said in post 58, forget about your philosophy major you took in college.You are speaking out of a textbook. Get some real life experience.Stop off and have a beer or two at your local ice house, play the jukebox, shoot a game of pool and get to know some country boys and buy that red head at the bar a drink.Learn what it means to make a deal on a handshake, that when you say somethin you mean what you say. Go catch a fish and tell him thank you when you either eat him or turn him loose.Go to someones aid with no expectation of anything in return. Learn these things and put the books back on the shelf.
