Bland does not personally believe in the special sanctity of any one book of faith, but he also does not believe it is
necessary to have such a book or body of opinion to fall back on to support the "intuition" that it is wrong for one
individual to decide the life and death fate of another based on nothing more than personal preference...even if there
were no real world consequences to suffer.


E agrees with bland, believing that that very "intuition" is a sort of evolved, genetic "wisdom" about what makes human life work.

Our intuition is strongest about members of our own families, getting less and less strong as the connection or identification with the "other" gets more remote. Good Christians have bought and sold human beings, and hunted aborigines for sport....

EDIT: X , i think i just said what you said in an earlier post, only I didn't say it as clearly....
