I agree that the golden rule is a good one.... but why do you need all the rest of the crap in the bible to go along with it? All the rest of the stuff that seems to cause so much trouble in the world. Do unto others is much older and more universal than the christian bible.
As far as condeming others - I strongly agree with something Beestie said in a thread you started Bruce; Lawyers.... Yuk. Just exchange laywer for christian (or any other religious person for that matter).

So all the Good Lawyers who fail to reign in their unethical professional colleagues are, in my opinion, just as guilty. I mean, if anybody can make it hard for someone to do something its a lawyer. So the inaction of the so-called Good Lawyers is especially troublesome.

Until the good ones step up to the plate and enforce their own code of ethics then they might just as well be bad. Which brings us back to Bruce's original point.
