Law is fluid and changeable
…Well, yes. Laws change all the friggin’ time, being adapted as society itself continues to evolve. That is not a bad thing. How about you prove that Objective Morality (to base those “natural laws” on) can even possibly exist, let alone does exist, and then we’ll talk.
Spoilers, pretty sure even MUCH smarter philosophers than you still haven’t agreed on it.
They fear a law that has solid foundations and definitions.
From my experience, it tends to be the RIGHT wingers who often pass very badly worded laws that have no solid foundation whatsoever…
It holds that a moral code is written on the hearts of men
My heart is a muscle that pumps blood. Nobody crafted it and noboy certainly wrote a friggin’ serial code or something on it.
The Ten Commandments, for example, are often described as a succinct summary of natural law.
I beg to disagree. Strongly. The Ten Comandments were ultimately just very vaguely defined rules written by fallable humans in ancient times. They may have been fair for their time, sure, but thing is, times change.
Also, my favorite of them (the “not bearing false witnessess” part) is ironically the one Commandment most Christians tend to ignore…
turned it into a set of human-made rules governing society, representing the sovereign will of the people through representative institutions.
…Again, yes. That is what actual laws tend to be.
