[QUOTE="Rachel20, post: 75144927, member: 428512"] Maybe what we value simply coincides with what is right and wrong, but not necessarily the basis for it? Certainly the golden rule "do unto others as we would have them do to us" assumes some things are universally valued. But why would utility-based reasoning necessarily be the same thing as moral-based reasoning? We see utility-based reasoning in the garden before the knowledge of good and evil even came to man - "And when the woman saw that the tree [I]was[/I] good for food, and that it [I]was[/I] pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make [I]one[/I] wise, she took of the fruit..." Gen 3:6 FYI I'm not hard-selling this, just throwing it out there! I enjoyed reading your thoughts on it. [/QUOTE]
