Hi John, My two cents worth... Sounds like you may be confusing common sense with moral values. Logically, if you stick "my" hand in the fire, you know that “I'll” get burned, common sense right? What is it that keeps you from wanting to put my hand in the fire? Common sense doesn't inform me that something is evil or bad, my moral values do. Common sense simply allows me to apply logic to determine a possible outcome. Moral values allow me to apply logic to prevent an undesirable outcome involving guilt or shame. Stand in His grace, WOS |

Good greetings WOS ! I think I can see your point. But, we can apply logic, to moral values, and make a decision, by using common sense. Or put it another way, it is logical to use our moral values to help us make a decision, and thats good common sense. Moral values are learned, and common sense is considered innate. I think that I probably didn't make myself too clear in my last post. Sometimes I think I'm doing really well, but when I read it again later I'm like... Huh? I hope this clears it up. As far as your two questions go: "Logically, if you stick "my" hand in the fire, you know that “I'll” get burned, common sense right?" yes. Common sense would tell us that is logical. "What is it that keeps you from wanting to put my hand in the fire?" I don't know you that well, maybe I do. ;-) Seriously tough....... I would certainly hope that my conscience would allow my moral values to help me make a decision not to. I wouldn't want that on my conscience. And thats good common sense. Also, it just wouldn't be very nice. Now would it? Good moral values make sense, good common sense. Hope that was worth 2-cents ;-) God Bless. John |
