"and yet the very laws we are governed by where actually laws laid down by God thousands of years ago and man still implements them within our law and enforcement." actually they were written by man in the name of god. The bible was written by man. there are no writings in it by jesus or god nor was their any collaboration between the people who wrote these scriptures, all religious texts are written by man and and there preception of events. none of the worlds religious institutions even dispute the fact. Religion is not based on fact its based on faith. Theres nothing wrong with that as long as we all understand that faith is personal and fact is universal.

That is why religion cannot be accounted for when we write law. there was no audience to the handing down of the 10 commandments and no proof what so ever other than the claims of one man. When you decide your stance on a topic you have to filter out what is fact and what is opinion (perception).


i also disagree that we know the fundamentals between right and wrong we have to be taught them they are not instinctive (eg; children who are abused their entire childhood often repeat the abusive behaviour they were taught by their abuser, in their adult lives). For years white people believed that racism was perfectly fine, women continue to struggle for equal rights nations, hatians believe that sex with a child will cure them of aids, the Aztecs sacrificed many many people to their gods they even hunted other tribes just for sport. right and wrong are not instinctive at all, the society we are conditioned to defines our perception of whats is right and wrong.
