Moral values, not “Christian” values – the Christians stole them from others….
I am sick of people like Cameron pontificating about “Christian values” Christianity hijacked its values from preceding traditions including Greek, Late Roman Stoic, Ancient Egyptian, Jewish and of course Buddhist. All these traditions worked out the moral values most people value today long before the Christians came along and took them over – like they took over so many other things. (Even the Jewish Ten Commandments were nicked straight from the Ancient Egyptians)…in conclusion I like go by what Sophocles said in Antigone “Wise conduct is the key to happiness, Always rule by the Gods and reverence them” eg Respect the Gods (Nature) and your moral course will be clear.
