[.. Considering the universality of the moral law, I wonder what "secular" (finite, contingent, man-made) thing can serve as the basis for moral law. ..]

Since government and religion both enforce moral law.. and are two sides of the same coin.. MORALITY MATTERS..

However God does not advocate morality but re-birth..
Not forced legality but regeneration of choice..

To be a little more clear to secular humans..
God puts men in his evolution machine and changes man from primate into another creature..
WHAT A MACHINE.. this is.. An oven that can bake out holyness.. from sinfulness..

Is God COOL or WHAT?..

Pretty quiet in here. Good. We can enjoy some of the other threads for a change.

The thing is, moral law is needed for a well ordered safe society. Morality doesn’t get you the rebirth but is the natural outcome of it. But for those who never experience it, there has to be some check to protect people and society.

Given the choice, I’d rather have the Judeo-Christian morality enforced by a moral government, like we had for at least a couple hundred years, than moral relativism. That will only result in anarchy, as everyone does what’s right in his own eyes. That’s what I fear the libertarian movement will lead.
