There are image people and there are big picture people. Two different psychologies, each foreign to the other.
The problem with democracy has always been that image people win elections and gain power over the big picture, which they then neglect because they can't see it.
@UnderSneege@kunley_drukpa Sir is it not so that you are evidence that early internet forum culture is not dead?
Is yeast lost when kneaded into dough?
Ok. I think that is two questions.
The first question is not interesting, since the moral force of biblical commands are hinged on the veracity of claims about historical events. If (any of) those events did not happen exactly as described then the source that says they did must be dismissed as unreliable, and since that same source gives commands then those commands may be dismissed also.
But if the historical events did happen as described then the source of the commands holds the basis of authority to give them - how then could any contrary model of morality be superior?
The second question is worthwhile. If you mean "does love suspend justice?" the answer is no, love does not suspend justice. Is the rapist still entitled to death after the victim forgives him? Yes. But love flies high above justice. Love is entirely free and does as it pleases.
