Objective Moral Law: Shock Treatment Or Loving Revenge

Objective moral law. WL Craig refers to the raping of children being as wrong as 2+2=5 as justification for the existence of objective moral law. It´s such an extreme act that it fairly obscures the larger issue of framing moral law. The Buddha drew on Hindu notions of karma that moral cause and effect operates in the world. Thus, moral urges for revenge when wronged might be a more precise angle to pursue. Jesus´ loving Commandments for God thus can serve to assuage and nurture the inclinations for revenge and realiation. More broadly, to identify the patterns in which power and influence have overwhelmend people´s natural mechanisms and tendencies to seek revenge, as with modern impostion of big business corp exec profiteering and corporate-consumerism.
