Even if self preservation is the "first Law" it's a huge leap of logic to move from that, to self sacrifice. "But what authority is to lay down the law as to what is or is not essential? It is certainly not the authority of individuals. By entering a society, whichever it be, the individual gives up part of his individuality to be merged into the community. And that part is precisely his private judgment on the essentials: if he resumes his liberty he ipso facto separates himself from his church. The decision, therefore, rests with the constitutional authority of the society--in the Church with the hierarchy acting as teacher and guardian of the faith. Nor can it be said that this principle unduly curtails the play of human reason. That it does curtail its play is a fact, but a fact grounded in natural and Divine law, as shown above." Round and round the logical bush The monkey chased his weasel That's the way morality goes Pope goes the weasel You would make an excellent Pope. No doubt you would allow the lesser "ignorants" on this thread to kiss your ring. Pope Guiltyassin the first!
