[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm still surprised by how many people base their moral compass on Christianity and the Bible, considering it is make-believe. The construct of religion has historically reinforced the idea that men should hold authority while women must submit. While I value the importance of good parenting in raising children, claiming that women must stay home 100% of the time to achieve that is a complete straw man argument.[/quote]

Why should that be surprising ? Western civilization's morals and laws are largely rooted in Christianity and the Bible, ( For eg., Ten Commandments, Golden Rule, the sanctity of life, and the importance of family structure directly stemming from biblical teachings, making it a substantial foundation for Western legal and ethical frameworks; however, it's important to acknowledge that other historical and philosophical influences also play a role in shaping Western morality and law. 
Key points to consider:

Historical Impact:
Christianity was the dominant religion in most Western societies for centuries, deeply impacting the development of legal systems, social norms, and ethical values.

Specific Concepts:
Concepts like the prohibition of murder, adultery, theft, and the importance of charity are directly reflected in biblical teachings and have been incorporated into Western legal codes.

Common Law:
The English common law, which is the basis for many Western legal systems, is heavily influenced by Christian principles and biblical interpretation.

Beyond Christianity:
While Christianity has had a profound impact, it's crucial to recognize that Western morality and law also draw from Greek philosophy, Roman law, and secular ethics.[/quote]
