I like the Golden Rule. The Ethic of reciprocity is by no means a Biblical only concept, as it is rather universal and certainly predates the writings in the Bible.

Secularists and humanists as well as almost every major religion have in some form embraced the rule.

“Do on to others as you would have them do on to you” is pretty much it.

The most straightforward biblical reading of the rule, as we have come to know it, can be found in Matthew 7:12:

“Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.”

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.

Why not question something for a change?
