As far as the ethic system goes for Christians, it is "love". Basing an entire ethics system on a feeling? Yeah... great ideea... And a perfect ethics system is far less important that people who do the ethics. Nope, I'd say it's THE most important (if people enforce a bad ethical system, they're not doing anyone any good). |
If you want to define love as a feeling, feel free to. I am choosing to define it as it is in 1 Corinthians 13:
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1 Corinthians 13&version=NIV
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
But if you want to say that is feelings, go ahead.
As far as the other point goes, ethics are meant to be done by people, not put up in some museum and studied in awe on how awesome they look. That is the point, and why I said it is far less important to have the perfect ethical system, then people act in a right manner among each other.
