If Rules Are Made To Be Broken...

Cause its gods will

Because the good majority of people dont break the good rules. Alot of rules that are broken are useless rules and set in place only to hold a position of power over someone. Sure they tag some bs along with it to make it seem a certain way but it aint really for that. The good rules, dont kill, dont steal, etc... are followed by most people. You will always have a few people in a group that wanna be a rebel though.

It can be anybody's will to make rules. What make rules important that anyone would determine what is right or wrong...only for what was determined to be compromised?

rules bring structure, regardless of your stance on them.

I dont see how people could not figure out Murdering, raping, stealing etc.. was wrong. Those things invoke feelings, when you murder, steal, rape and stuff the normal person which is the majority has a guilty concious, the feel bad and regret their actions later. To me with stealing theres a difference of it, stealin a ipod from a store isnt gonna make me feel bad, stealin someones food or somethin useful to that person would. The invoking of a persons feelings is what determines what is morally right or wrong. Jaywalking, protesting, lighting illegal fireworks, drivin without a seat belt etc... doesnt invoke those same feelings if any feelings at all.

I'm sure there are "useless" rules and most people don't violate the good rules (at least legally). But what makes the remaining people think that they can break the good ones especially if they know they can get away with it?

If you break the rules of nature, nature will eventually correct itself... count on it.

Because its human nature to be free from restraint. If we fill a law or rule is bullshit which most are, then of course we wont abide by them because they are useless. If we dont where a seatbelt we know we take that chance in a crash, the law should not tell people they have to. As for murder and stuff those who break it often have a mental issue or had no structure growin up as far as a role model and/or parents go. If your raised in a jungle its natural to act like an animal.

Which rules are you talkin about though, the main ones that invoke feelings or the bs ones set forth only to maintain civil order and earn money?

 

[DarcSkies777]

Simple. The next broken rule could fuck YOU over. Laws arent for the benefit of others. Its for the benefit of YOU.

So if someone breaks the rules of nature, only nature is responsible; that the rule breaker can be pardoned by nature from anything he or she violates?

You sure that it is just human nature to be free from restraint? What about those who find a freedom in restraint? What value is these restraints if not everybody takes heed to those restraints. What fairness or justice is there for obedience to not produce success or prosperity?

What does that say to those who break the rules and there is no immediate breakdown in structure; that success is not hendered by what they should obey?

Well, what if it doesn't get the best of me? Some people have spent their lives breaking rules (intentionally or unintentionally) and they manage to benefit more than the ones who "go by the book".

i like this, perhaps you meant it differently then I interpreted.. or perhaps you didn't.. but this is good

 

[demandred]

Rules are put into place for people's own good... and to be able to bring forth order and governance

Leaving people up to their own devices is destruction waiting to happen.. and people are not as intelligent or as self-willed as we would like to believe

The process of walking upright or wicked is exactly that... like in a video game... each time you are placed in a situation where you have the ability to choose... each decision only adds more points onto whatever your particular stance is... and the more lopsided you are eventually that becomes your nature

But just because some people are not rewarded right away... or some people are rewarded right away... doesnt really mean anything... nature is watching you and taking note of your expenses... eventually it will demand payment... you don't get away with anything in life... and if you do... your kids will either reap the reward or pay the price...

 

[TX_Made713]

the question is, are there rules in the afterlife?

 

[BiblicalAtheist]

...then why make them? What makes morality important when it is just as easy to break them than make them?

What came first, or the crime or the law?

Nature never pardons. If you play with fire, expect to be burnt; further more, if you cut down the trees that give us air, expect not to breathe. So on and so forth.
