- throwaway1492 4y agoClearly humans are that dumb.
- ticviking 4y agoBut this is the ruleset that western civilization choose to have its young children memorize as a first set of rules to learn

- BurningPenguin 4y agoIdk about your country, but we don't teach children "fear god or burn in hell" or "what would Jesus do", we tend to teach young children not to be dicks to each other and not to do dumb stuff. Most of our children books aren't based on some religious stuff either. They're quite neutral. Yes, there is "religious education" in school, but that's not the major focus of our educational system. When i was in kindergarten, it was e.g. "Struwwelpeter"[1]. Nowadays, that's probably not considered child-friendly anymore...

- giantg2 4y agoIt seems we are that dumb if we had to make these sorts of rules and iterate on them but we still break them thousands of years later.
