"The more moral the society, the more corrupt it is. The more the laws, the more the crimes." True or false?

Question

...so the law drew attention to sin?

what do you think? explain your views on this.thanks.

Answer 1

Laws create crime. What used to be legal is now a crime. People who were not criminals are now criminals because of the law. In biblical writings, the law draws attention to sin by exposing it as against the law. Almost every thing we do is legislated to some degree making it almost impossible to go through the day without breaking a law somewhere. I think Ann Rand wrote a book to this affect.

Society determines its own morals through legislation. Do-gooders want the world to run the way they like it. They pass laws that make us criminals every time we break them. We have more than 2 mln people in prison and half of those are there for offenses of possession of marijuana or some other nonviolent crime. But because a do-gooder passed a law, he is in there for life. If there were fewer laws there would be fewer criminals and a happier society.

Answer 2

In some ways, yes. Example, if they make it against the law to smoke cigarettes, then people addicted to smoking will automatically be in danger of some sort of legal penalty. That is why I am against smoking bans. even though I am not a smoker.

I don't get the correlation between morality and corruption, but I do see the correlation between law and crime.

Answer 3

we are no longer decrease than Mosaic regulation. that they had 619 regulations. What do you have against lobsters, and crabs, and oysters? the recent testomony makes clean that each and every person ingredients may well be eaten different than determine blood is drained from them. I Corinthians 8:; 10:23-33;Acts 15:19; those are different sources . The nutrition prohibitions or freedoms replaced with the aid of time, till now the flood, after the flood, after Mosaic regulation, etc. i desire this helps!

Answer 4

Just wanted to embellish the first answer....those who make the laws are above them. Those who commit the crimes that are off the charts, get away with murder.

The rest of us follow like sheep to the slaughter house.

At the end of the day, the buck rules.

Answer 5

I don't know how to measure the morality of a society except to measure, directly or indirectly, the level of corruption. I don't know how we look into the hearts of individuals and see through to who they really are. If you can't measure it, does it really exist?

The more the crimes, the more the laws. You have cause and effect reversed.

Answer 6

Humanity is flawed, racism and nationalism are profit motives as well. The profit of your group over others, so yes, the profit motive corrupts society always.

And i am an anarchist. Don't talk your communistic nationalistic nonsense to me, you in the closet capitalist!

Answer 7

the writer believed that humanity is basically flawed
and always lives with a certain amount of selfishness or at least some people,, that will put their own profit motives and power needs over what is best for the group.
