   In which way are my items vague? Take every word simply for what it   
   is, and there will be no room for misinterpretation.   
      
   You quote Jesus, but unfortunately I don't know this person. I am one   
   of millions of people who grew up in a brutal world and have to figure   
   out how to live. Unfortunately, the bible rings no bell to me.   
      
   Am I not allowed to try to find a good morality out of my personal   
   history? Must I have been brought up with the bible, or humbly submit   
   to something I hardly understand, to be able to lead a good life?   
      
   Is the core of your reaction that it is forbidden to have a personal   
   conscience?
