Welcome, Secular Reason
“If you want others not to harm you, consistency requires you not to harm them.”
— Logic
No faith required. The passive Golden Rule follows from logic alone: if you assert the right not to be harmed, you must — on pain of contradiction — extend the same right to others. This is not a religious insight; it is a logical necessity. The Ultimate Law is built for those who need no scripture, only consistency.
The Ultimate Law
Logic is the ultimate law.
Do not do to others what they would not want to be done to them, or you will be punished regardless of your will.
The purpose of punishment is to erase guilt, via retribution and restitution.
That is the entire law; it cannot be changed, all the rest is commentary.
