Secular Law Is Better Than God's Law. How Did That

Secular law is better than God's law. How did that happen?

You do not have to b e a rocket scientist to recognize that Secular law has bested Religious laws.

This may be why even Muslims and Christians are choosing Secular laws when available.

Why?

Because Secular law is more forgiving and logical as opposed to Religious law.

Secular law demands and allows equality of women, Gays and slaves. Religious laws do not yet do not give a good logic trail for discriminating against these sub groups of our societies.

As our knowledge of life has increased, Secular laws have evolved and improved as opposed to Religious laws that have been stagnant and fixed over time.

This stagnation of old laws ensure that over time, Secular laws will win out over Religious laws for our hearts and minds.
As they should.

I do recognize the good that Churches do in terms of community but if they do not evolve their laws, they are bound to fail. This is likely why most religions have split into various sects depending on the secular progression of the individual communities and religious sects. Most religions today have their hot , medium or soft adherents and sects and this split insures that secularism will increase while religions will shrink.

Are religious laws too entrenched and harsh?
Are secular laws too soft?
Looking at the big picture, am I correct in stating that secularism will win out over religions?
If secularism does win, is that a good thing?
Are women, Gays and slaves better served by secularism or religion?

That How Law Gods Than Is Law Secular

This statement presupposes that your premise is accurate. A more debatable question might have been "Is secular law better then God's law?"

Your question, however, asks how something happened that many would say has not happened. I believe your premise is pure conjecture (a statement not backed up by evidence) and therefore begs the question (to assume the truth of the very point raised in a question).

Alright, that is a question that can be debated. I would ask the millions who have been enslaved or murdered by the secular regimes of Hitler and Stalin if they believe secular law is entirely noble. Oh that's right, you can't ask them because they are dead or in bondage. Women were sex objects, gays were killed and entire nations were enslaved by these mad men.

Secular law or laws created in the name of religion can be both good or bad. It just depends on the people enforcing them, and the influence behind those people. Evil men use secular law to murder and enslave and evil men use "God's law" to do the same. Decent men use laws , both secular and "God's laws", to ennoble mankind and to protect their individual freedom while protecting society as a whole.

Secular Law Is Better Than God's Law. How Did That Beliefs Religious General

In the beginning, we are told, woman was placed firmly somewhere beneath man. This position they --enjoyed-- through both religious and secular laws.

Secular law is what finally freed them.

The Bible shows us how to treat, beat and handle slaves. It does not promote the freeing of slaves. Secular law does.

Gays are discriminated and denigrated by religious adherents.
Secular law is leading the way in promoting their equality.
