Re: Poll - Legalities

I gotta play devils advocate on this one.

If you break the rules, and nobody can tell / you dont get caught, then what difference does it make?

We are talking about rules that were created by humans - I am also a human with an equal capacity for discernment and intelligence. The people who wrote/created the rule used their best judgement at the time. When I am in a situation where following the rule is a problem, I may have specific information, or be in situation they did not consider.

To put it another way, Jesus said "The Sabboth was made for man, man was not made for the Sabboth". Rules exist for our benefit, in general situations. When a situation arises where that same rule is going to do more harm than good, then we are intelligent beings, we should do the right thing based on our knowledge and assessment of the situation

not based on what someone wrote on a piece of paper at some point the past.
