The laws laid out in the Longhouse Religion are similar to the commandments handed down by the Christian prophet, Moses.11 Both were received through divine communications that no one else was privy to, both are non-negotiable and to be followed to the letter, both prohibit harmful behaviors, and both are specific to the people receiving these edicts. The Christian commandments are for the chosen people, who reside under the authority of the male head of household. Handsome Lake’s Code, however, was modeled after Hammurabi’s Code even though the tenants were influenced by local Christian missionaries.12 Like the Ten Commandments, Handsome Lake 's codes are similarly addressed to a chosen people, but not through a head-of-household. Instead,…

The name “Red Letter Christians” refers specifically to the words of Jesus. His teachings are presented throughout the bible in numerous verses highlighted by red letters, substantially in the New Testament. The “red letters” are emphasizes because these types of Christians believe that the bible can only be understood if it is interpreted through Christ’s perspective. These types of Christians have an elevated look on scripture and feel that the current Christian denominations are rooted in politics, rather than in the words and actions of Jesus. If “Red Letter Christians” claim to be a group based on Jesus’ teaching, then politics shouldn’t have a tremendous impact on their movement.…

Some of the Ten Commandments were, “You shall not kill”, “ You shall not steal, “You shall not commit adultery”, and other basic rules that proved Jews were faithful men or women (doc 1).…
The moral code, or lack of one, in House of Cards is completely the opposite of the one presented in The West Wing. The Underwoods do nothing that is not of their own self-interest. In order to achieve their goals, every option is on the table, including theft, murder, and an abundance of lies. This all options philosophy is surprising given Frank’s wife, Claire, job as an environmental activist. Even when seeking to accomplish virtuous things, such as Claire’s clean water project, immoral practices are still used.…
Another rather innocent proposal is simply unplugging the machine when we sense danger. Is this even possible – can you put the evil back into the Pandora’s box? There will be so many ways of machine communication at levels that we are even unconscious with – radio waves, digital signals, code manipulation etc. We certainly don't have the ability to lock the super intelligence up forever.…

If I had to respond to an opposing argument, I would have to say that you cannot have a cookie cutter approach to morality. Society needs rules to function because they are absolutes, providing a structure we can all live by.…
