I dont disagree on this biological essentialist view, but what you are saying and what I am saying can be true at the same time. | ||

I am not a Christian, but one must wonder why in the Christian world do we value the individual, and not in say Mongolia? | ||

I agree, but under feudalism, the hierarchy of the family remained the same, the social mobility none existent, yet we broke that in the west, right? | ||

That is the idealistic version of capitalisim | ||

Well no, it didnt remain the same, it evolved. In Rome the father held complete control over life and death within the family, and no man could legally tell him otherwise, this is not the case under feudalism, so what changed? | ||

What part? | ||
|
edgewalker69 |
The king held absolute control over life and death, but only to the extent sanctioned by his nobles and peers, no man is an island and rule alone. | ||
|
edgewalker69 |
But within the family, the father could not kill his own children | ||
|
edgewalker69 |
They could in Rome | ||

Well in religions, law come from god, right? The King rule by divine right, so if god says; your sins are between you and god, and that is enforced by the state in order to legitimize one's own right to rule. | ||

I'm having trouble trying to track what point edgewalker69 is trying to make | ||
|
edgewalker69 |
I dont know | ||

My point is 1: if the King Rules by divine right. 2. Then god words must be law. 3. Therefore, it is in the interest of the king to push gods law. 4. By gods law, everyman is equal in the eyes of god. 5. Fast forward 500 years to the USA. Abraham Lincoln is the president of the USA, by right of the constitution and the god giving right to pursue happiness. | ||

Therefore, slaves are must be free in accordance with the law, because slaves are men too. |
