Democracy or bushido or machindo or even labra are all concepts to which or by which a person may govern their lives, that's a personal choice. But what you are talking about is setting up your own church as the universal concept for everybody and you want to do it with no proof of validity. You can't even give a shred of proof that your Catholic god exists or that your concepts are in anyway derived from Him. I agree with you that a creative force of some sort exists (we are here after all) but nothing links our existence to your personal vision or your church's vision of this force.Our perspectives are so divergent that even discussing with each other is difficult. You talk about universal standards to which a person subordinates their whole being, but I don't know of any standards like that. There are things that I don't think are correct to do and I don't do them, but I've never tried to apply them to everybody, everywhere, for all time--in fact I'm not sure that's possible. You have edicts from an invisible being, you have a church based around the purported thoughts and wishes of that invisible being and you want your beliefs to be seen as universally applicable. I don't buy, my life has led me to a different place and from where I stand murdering or threatening to murder a child on the sayso of a disembodied voice is probably a form of mental illness. Yes, I suspect you would be convicted because you can't supply even the tiniest shred of proof that the creative force of the universe had ANYTHING to do with you setting out to murder your child. You would be on the same thin ice as the Son of Sam killer who said his dog told him what to do. If he could have proved that, and proved that his dog was some kind of authority, then it might have gone differently. But you and the Son of Sam have nothing to support your assumption that the disembodied voices you hear are coming for this Catholic god. People have been killing at some god's behest for all of human history--what makes you any different?
