--Your allways going to have one culture or another or one person or another breaking one of the 10 commandments regularely, how is this relevant?
The ten commandments are LAWS ... they are societally bound.
The question is whether or not someone breaking one of the
ten commandments in a culture where the bahaviour
they exhibit is acceptable is acting immorally.
That is::
Suppose there is a culture where marriage exists, but having
extra-marital sex is acceptable. The adultery commandment
is being broken, but is NOT a recognised law within that society.
Are people who act in this way immoral ?
Example:: In old England, it was the RIGHT of the Lord of
the Manor to sleep with a bride before her husband ... was this
immoral even though it was law ?
If laws are NOT related to morality ... what is ?
