Weak constitution + Weak ethics = Negative consequence

Good constitution + Weak ethics = Negative consequence

Good constitution + Strong ethics = Positive consequence

Weak constitution + Strong ethics = Positive consequence

from whose point of view are we looking at ethics here?

Disclaimer (coming first before you misinterprete me and start kunikemea! I am a staunch christian)

Granted and the fact that I have a different opinion by the way, has got no bearing with how i relate to my God. As christians as we may want to be, God put us on earth where we are going to be ruled by an earthly kings... during the olden days, He Himself appointed the kings... now that we do the voting and we do not have that elaborate miracle happen as it used to during that time, this is where the laws of the land come in... same laws that were applied when Jesus was crucified and he never said that they should quite applying them and only be ruled by the word of God... this is because he knew the government had a purpose... otherwise, he wouldnt even have advocated for taxes to be paid. Why didnt he say "do not pay any more taxes to these governments especially given that the likes of zachaeus will steal your money".... that is where the constitution comes in.... Even if lets say we agree to Vote No, we still will need this constitution and the need for strong institutions is undebatable.

poundfoolish..am not a very bright block but am reliably informed of this premese.. "The Church is the custodian of morality in any decent society"..

so, still aware am not very bright a block, it is safe to assume that point of view of the church on matters ethics and morality ought to weigh more in any discussion of a just and equitable society..

By the way..wonder what Islam, hindus et al, say of abortion, women rights..

Ethics are not relative...so are morals.
