Archaeology of the New Testament

the golden rule is not just "another law" it's an abstract guiding principle, suitable for the derivation of all laws for a society.

You pivoted; dial it back. Your position is that "this is the law" means that there aren't any others. You insisted. Do you remember?

No, that's not what "for this is the law and the prophets" means.
yes, it is what it means.

You must pay your taxes, for this is the law. Your position is that there are therefore no other laws, probably because it would be fascism to have others.
 
the golden rule is not just "another law"
It certainly is another law, besides the laws that were listed before it, and the laws listed after it. I believe that all of them combined form what is technically called a "set" of laws, and the golden rule is a member of that set.

it's an abstract guiding principle, suitable for the derivation of all laws for a society.
Isn't it rather concrete? TreatmentOf(others) = desiredTreatmentFrom(others)

it's on the meta.

it is a concrete principle, as you say, suitable for the derivation of all other laws.

its so great for the derivation of all laws, that the immoral fascist like you seek to downplay it because you hate morality and love empire and oppression.

bottom line, tyrants hate empathy and love authority in place of morality.

like the founders said, "freedom is only suitable for a moral people".

evil doers seek totalitarianism through demoralization.
 
The fact that you can actually rationalize your God murdering innocent children,
You don't have to believe the Jewish story of Exodus is literally true to be a Christian. It's not a history book. There is no tangible evidence of a large population of Hebrew slaves in Egypt. All available evidence is that the pyramids weren't built by slaves. They were built by free Egyptian laborers. The theological point of the story of Exodus is liberation and covenant.
when he had an infinite amount of other options,
In the story of Exodus, Yaweh gives the pharaoh multiple opportunities to free the enslaved Israelites, by "other options", aka, demonstrations of providential power, inflicting physical nuisances and plagues on Egypt.
tells me all I need to know about the level of your delusion. You're like "No no no! Just go read this book written by men who couldn't explain where the sun went at night. They'll help you understand!"
You've been superficially trained to use technology, but you really don't need to understand quantum physics or inorganic chemistry to live a righteous human life. My guess is that you've never even had a college level physics or chemistry class. Astrophysics and genetics won't do anything to help you learn about and cultivate relationships, trust, love, marriage, justice, honesty, liberty, beauty, integrity.

In other words, 99 percent of your life does not require you to know orbital mechanics, oceanography, calculus, genetics, biochemistry.

For thousands of years, up to and including today, humans have used stories, poems, parables, narrative fiction to shed light on broader truths.

There probably was a small Israelite population in Egypt that was led by a man who the literary figure of Moses is based on. There is usually a kernel of truth behind many myths.

but the golden rule is an instruction set for humanity moving forward in a hight trust manner.
