Just a thought as I was reading over my past blogs over this semester...
The premises of moral decisions are based on various factors, including religious/spiritual, familial, cultural and societal morals. Based on these premises, it is questionable how government regulations can mandate an individual’s moral obligations and, thus law. Based on these premises, it could be concluded that a citizen should not be mandated to abide by laws that go against his or her moral convictions.
As I was watching Jay Leno last night with former President George W. Bush, I listened to him talk about heart warming memories and decisions relating to the 9/11 attack. But then he went on to talk about how the world would be "a better place" without Saddam Hussein--
my thoughts: everyone makes mistakes, and christians are no exception. However, what gives him the right to say who has more or less of a right to be living on this earth. If all sins are the same, like Christians believe, then why do the threats against his daughters justify why Bush would declare a man's life worthless?
