I didn't refer to you directly did I Smokey?

Uh.. no, Jack.. nor to anyone else. I apologise for answering you directly if that isn't what you wanted - I mean no offence.

I am interested in which common sense principles you use and which you have rejected and why. How are they different from the religious commandments we see all around us? Please tell me.

If you mean 'the commandments', I suppose the ones I don't agree with are the first ones, concerning belief/worship. Why they should be ranked on a par with (or above?) not murdering people or stealing from them is a mystery to me, but that's beside the point. I'm inclined to think Kant had the right idea.
