And im not unlawful just because i don't believe in a God. Its the opposite: Im more lawful than a believing person.
I'm not just following something because someone else said that another person with some form of 'authority' read a book and interpreted some old text from 2000 years ago in a specific way.
I'm questioning rules based on logic and social environment.
- trollbridge 1y agoYou have a belief system, and that’s fine. But it’s still a belief system, and it forms the foundation for why you would be lawful. If I lived under the Stasi regime or the regime the preceded it, I might not be such a “lawful” person. I believe some laws today are ones I wouldn’t follow, partly guided by religious belief. For example, I am not interested in turning in illegal aliens just for being here illegally regardless of if laws are passed saying I have to do so.
- AIoverlord 1y agoThe base of my 'belief system' is not arbitrary as it is with religion, which i referenced in my original comment. We can argue about my 'laws' and you can change it. With religion based 'laws' you can't as its comes from an 'authority'.
- trollbridge 1y agoI don’t think every religion bases its morals on an “authority”. For example, some place an importance on finding principles in “natural law”. I think that’s an unfair caricature of religion.
