[QUOTE]Originally posted by WizArtist II: [QB] The very basis of law itself was founded on the tenets of religion. If you want to remove religion then you have to question the very basis of the laws we have. At that point, who decides what is "moral", "ethical", or "right"? The majority? Puh-lease, you can't even get the majority to simply turn out and vote. I had a relative whose major complaint against a crooked local politician was that HE himself wasn't the one in office raking it in. A select jury? Yeah, like the one that couldn't convict O.J. with DNA evidence. I remember a local news station asking the public what they thought and this one idiot stated that she believed O.J. couldn't be guilty because he had such a nice smile and seemed so nice in his commercials. Is that the moral insight needed to establish law? The very concept of law is that justice be administered when a law is broken. Punishment for transgression. Sounds religious to me. [/QB][/QUOTE]
