I have always disliked the golden rule, precisely because of how it differs from the Platinum rule. it's easy to say, "Well, *I* would want someone to bring salvation to me, so that's what I'll do to you"...it's harder to look at the specific situation a person has and what THEY want.Andrew Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11149921396698798441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21219785.post-30931845882649230022009-08-25T03:13:22.130-04:002009-08-25T03:13:22.130-04:00Terrific post.

My coworkers tire of me criticizing the golden rule when someone brings it up at the retail setting. We do not all want to be treated the same! When in doubt, the golden rule is adequate, but the platinum rule is much better.<br /><br />If the Bible were a work of divine inspiration rather than one of often-antiquated views of subpar philosophies, one would expect that it would take the time to include this, but it does not - thus keeping with the tradition of including the irrelevant (tents, candles, begats, censuses) and omitting the relevant (slavery, equality, higher philosophy). I wonder what an apologist thinks a failed attempt at a divine book would look like, if not this?Jason Longhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10288789613402007006noreply@blogger.com
