Roe vs Wade Repercussions

[Odë:hgöd]

.

In other words, a concept of law that is derived from Judeo-Christian thinking.

Neither Jews nor Christians existed back in Adam's day; yet he knew the difference
between good and evil. (Gen 3:22)

Others knew too; for example Cain (Gen 4:6-7) Abraham (Gen 26:5) Sodom and
Gomorrah (Gen 18:20-33) Er (Gen 38:7) Onan (Gen 38:8-10) and Joseph (Gen
39:9)

NOTE: I forget where I read this; but when European missionaries came to the new
world-- planning to enlighten the natives with biblical moral values --they
discovered that the people had been aware of many of those same values for
centuries. The natives didn't attend catechism or yeshiva to learn those values;
they didn't have to because they knew them intuitively by means of their natural
conscience.

The Bible says God illuminates every man that comes into the world. (John 1:9)
How do you suppose He does that? No, my grammar is wrong. I really should pose
my question in the past tense, like this: How do you suppose He did that. Well; He
did it in the garden of Eden by giving Adam a conscience; thus causing the man's
entire posterity to come into being with a God-given sense of right and wrong.

Ergo: those evil men I listed in post No.19 have no excuse for the ways they've treated
their fellow man. They knew, and they know, within in themselves without needing
someone to tell them, that their management practices are wicked.

Neither Jews nor Christians existed back in Adam's day; yet he knew the difference
between good and evil. (Gen 3:22)

...according to the sacred writings of one particular religious system of values and it alone.

Everything mankind knows about Adam's existence, doings, and the judgment rendered against him owes to the Judeo-Christian story about Adam!

All you are doing by quoting the Bible like this is verifying what I wrote about Western Civilization's moral values--and then the laws based upon those concepts--being derived from that religious tradition and not any other ones in the world.

Probably the Book of Mormon. The claim isn't accurate, however.

The Bible says God illuminates every man that comes into the world. (John 1:9)

Yes, but what does "illuminates" mean in that verse? It doesn't refer to acceptance of all the moral principles of the Bible. It means that there is a God and he brings light from darkness or a sense in men of there being a higher power in the universe, but it doesn't mean that everyone will think alike about God and what he wants us to do or not do.

All we have to do in order to appreciate that truism is to look around at all the great world religions and note that most believe in a supreme being or beings, but most do not believe that Jesus of Nazareth was that God or that his teachings are what they should abide by.

Ergo: those evil men I listed in post No.19 have no excuse for the ways they've treated
their fellow man.

I'd agree, but then again, all you are showing is that they are immoral because they are indifferent to Judeo-Christian moral values. The moral traditions of other religious systems of the world wouldn't necessarily operate in that same way.

knew, and they know, that their management practices are
wicked but go ahead with them anyway.

What makes you think that such people believed that they were doing wrong?

All right. Then what makes you think that such people as Mao and Hitler KNEW that what they did was morally wrong?
