It is self evident, just on the basis that living by the laws God has given us is clearly superior to living by the law as determined by who has the most power.

But you're forgetting what makes Judeo-Christian rule the least obnoxious (at least currently. Don't know if I'd agree it was best, say 400 years ago.) What makes it best is that it is predicated on free will and faith. It has to be freely chosen. You aren't to shove it down anyone's throat. If you do that, you begin the eradication of what separates you from Islam, from the Catholic church, and from Marxists.I have to go, we can continue this later if you want.

I am not sure why you exclude the Catholic church from the 'Judeo-Christian rule' and lump it with Islam and Marxism?

No I'm recognizing it is superior because of whom it's author is.

There is a lot of debate within Christianity about free will and faith. You are attempting to impose a view of Christianity based on your bias and not on Scripture. You are right Christianity is a faith of the heart. You can not force someone to believe. However, Scripture also calls for Christians to live by very specific rules.

For atheists it seems they only want the rules they come up with. Thus there is a conflict.
