Note: on law, religion and secularism _____________________________ When human legislate injustice is bound to occur because it is ultimately some humans, young, old, rich, poor, happy, sad, angry, reasonable, slightly not-so-reasonable, or extreme, are choosing to choose the right and wrong based on their limited knowledge. The idea of revisiting it is great, but certain harm is intolerable and irreversible once done. Or when it is done, it could be reversed only with another measure of injustice with incalculable adverse affect. Whoever created humans knows them better. Still human has to partake in the legislative process because Divine legislations dont not covered all minuscule matters and all probabilities of human perversions. If they were they would have been a need for large legal manual for every individual, for every acts, and the preceding and preceptive intention and notions. Humanity would have needed larger libraries for their legal rules and still they would have warred over them. This is not because God could not have either designed human differently or did such legislation, but because lack legal clarity is a function of a more complex set of variables to make life what it is: a test. Despite that flexibility typified the law of God: this is when flexibility is advantageous and not a mental trap. Major commandments were outlined. Majors rules are established. The rest is left for minds to interpret, to approach, to revise, to devise and institute. Some injustice is bound to happen here as well because of all the kind of biases that human social life generates. But biases here, must by their very virtue be tolerable, if and when the moral imperative of an inescapable, absolute other-worldly justice is kept living and omnipresent. This will not provide, nor could it be said to provide a complete justice. Utopia is not here and the search for it here in the name of secularity, humanity, or religious ideals reflects utter blindness. It is a satanic trick. Calls it the original sin or whatever you wish, but that the essence of what it meant to teach us is that. Satan, who knows human psychology quite well, comes to us with the deceptive notion of forever--whether that forever is happiness or life itself. Both are not defined in forever in the way God has created us for now. The lesser the human hands, and minds are present in any law, the more just and, more importantly, the more the social consequences of its implementations are less tolerable and man as s/he is: a mix of spiritual, moral, intellectual and animal conflicting traits. Less human hands and minds also mean less corrupted religions. This critique goes both ways. Minds that presume to know, with inflexible certainty, what God meant when clearly other forms of interpretation are plausible without a contradiction of the general frame of establishing God as the Legislator and man as the target of legislation, are bad if not worst examples of deleterious man made injustice. The reverse--that is, establishing man as a legislator under any disguise and regardless of how powerful is the rhetoric aura in which it is wrapped-- is clearly the most ostentatious form of arrogance.
