Default Re: Good vs. Lee's Trees

In a normal social context (non-LC, non-religious), there are certain terms that can be applied to people who don't care about right and wrong or who demonstrate disregard for right and wrong. That is why it is so concerning to hear the common LC phrases like "We don't care for right or wrong..." I'm not trying to make any particular statement about LC leadership, but I just want to say that it should be of big concern that there are statements that both Lee and LC leaders have made indicating a lack of concern for right or wrong.

The LC alternative to caring about right and wrong is obviously "life". As has been discussed already, that is highly subjective concept. So what you have is a group of people with leaders who vocally state that they don't care for right or wrong, but care instead for this subjective concept of "life". What set of values does the concept of "life" encompass? I would like to think that it encompasses some kind of higher standard. I do have a hard time believing that, given the actions taken by LC leaders to remove those who attempted to address basic issues of right and wrong. Because there is the thought that discerning according to right and wrong brings in "death", and because it is unclear what standard of "life" those in the LC live by, doesn't that make for a dangerous situation? To be fair, I believe many in the LC do care about right and wrong, the problem is that those voices are never heard. How many are there in the LC who have keep silent when it comes to right and wrong? I know that I have. I'm sure there are many others.
