Pure Moral Reasons Are Not Enough to Form Laws

"But, for church and state to be seperate can we say 'Because of the ten commandments, this act should be prohibited" The Point being is that many of our laws are based in religion, These laws are based on Morals. "But other reason can be applied to them" Like what? Why shouldn't we kill? Yes it is depriving of life, but without Moral Reasons who is to say life is valuable? Many Laws are based in Morality. We as a society have accepted that it is wrong to kill, A MORAL choice. " There is that, and there is also the spread of STD's and illegal acts associated with prostitution, so yes we have made it illegal to be a prostitute, but in some areas if you receive a license you can legally practice prostitution" Bill O'Donnell, former Nevada state senator (R-Las Vegas), said: "It bothers me that we're [Nevada] making money off the backs of women. Condoning prostitution is the most demeaning and degrading thing that the state can do to women." MORAL ISSUES... The foundation of these laws are Purely Moral Also there is Research that Legalization may decrease HIV/Aids Which I will Produce if asked but I don't want to post alot of extra stuff... Why did We Stop Segregation and slavery? "Mainly on the foundation that all men are moral equals, and that both of these concepts are MORALLY wrong." There's that, and the fact that we were non-consensually inflicting harm upon of group of people. Which, as I said before, should be one of the only reasons that we make laws. To protect people from non-consensual harm. Not to protect people from 'moral wrongs' It seems like we have Very Different conceptions in this round as to what is morality and what is not.... During the pre-civil war era it was even believed that Slaves were not Human, It is almost universally accepted that everyone is equal know, why did we change? because our Morals did... Also: Why is Non Consensual Harm bad? "Why did the international Community try so hard to stop the holocaust? at this time there was no international law that was being broken, however the international community felt that what the Nazis were doing was wrong, that thier actions were Morally Forbidden." That and the fact the thousands upon thousands of innocent lives were being killed for no warlike reason. We didn't think it was just 'moral wrong' we thought that it was internationally our job to stop harm from coming non-consensually to a group of innocent people. Again, Why is Killing bad? It is bad because it has been accepted by society as being bad, This Is still a Moral Reason for why killing is bad. Why was it our Job to do so? Moral Obligation? Again we see Purely Moral Reasons and Foundations.... "Because People are MORAL equals, A purely Moral principle." And also, because people all deserve to not be non-consensually suppressed based on their faith, skin color, or origins. Why do all people deserve this? becuase it is treating them as moral equals "Why is freedom so fundamental? why do we frown on Despotisms when what they are doing is legal in their own land? Because it is Morally wrong to take away freedom, we consider it to be the natural condition , our laws are based on the Moral Concept That Freedom is a Human right." And because people all should have the basic right of not being non-consensually suppressed by their government. Why is this the only thing you refute? What about the rest of my arguments? Why do they have this right? Morality is the foundation of rights, Human rights are a Purely Moral Concept. I only refuted this point as I had covered the others in my case.
