The Problem with the Law
Whether you people are religious or not, there is an inherent problem with the LAW.
Without a higher law coming from a higher being (a being that is Just, Holy, Inerrant, All Wise, All Knowing, All loving, and All compassionate), then every single man made law is
inherently imperfect and flawed.
What makes something right and something wrong? Because a piece of paper a few mortal men sitting on high horses decided to jot down as what is right and wrong? No, all the Law is, is merely some people's perspective over everyone else's. Basically, whoever has the power to assert their will the greatest is the winner and therefore decides what is legal and what is illegal, what is moral and what is immoral.
For example, on Planet A, if 99.8% of the people love apples and believe in apples, then the law would be that apples are good and apples are moral and right. Oranges would then be deemed illegal, immoral, and wrong.
But on Planet B, 99.8% of the people love oranges and believe in oranges. All their laws written up state that oranges are legal, moral, and good.
So then, who is right and who is wrong? One planet says apples and another planet says oranges. No mere mortal could step in and weight their opinions and decide the final outcome that apple is legal and good and oranges is illegal and evil. He's just a mere mortal who has an opinion. Nothing short of "God" could step and settle the matter once and for all. Only God could do that.
If God therefore did do that already and stated long ago that Apples are evil but Oranges are the true good, then we can make a law that isn't just man-made mortal and imperfect and flawed....but a THE LAW, would truly be law.
So if we are to make a Planet C, the question is, which law will they make? Planet A or Planet B? Planet C would make their law based on which of the two previous planets succeeds in exerting their will and ways the most effective. That's how Planet C will make their laws.
It's that simple and that inherently wrong. It's merely about whoever has the perspective that successfully asserts itself more and greater than any other perspective. It excludes any notion of what actually is good and evil or right and wrong. It has nothing to do with that. It only has to do with who controls the ability to make others think what they think.
