Nml is incompatible with a religious approach

Nml is incompatible with a religious approach

1. Strengths

   • Provides clear cut rules as it needs to be applied to every situation and you have the primary precepts as a guide
   • Roman Catholics say nml has provided adequate basis for moral decision making for over 700 years
   • Prescribes laws which are derived from god and are unchanging and eternal

2. Weaknesses

   • Fails to consider several other aspects such as conseque ces
   • Atheists would argue and say god given reason And nature do not provide us with the source of the law
   • Been argued by James Rachel that nml is going out date

3. Agree

   • Jesus teaching contradict some nml primary precepts
     • We have the right to protect ourselves from the primary precept defend the innocent
       • If someone strikes you on the right cheek turn to him the other also
   • Nml overrides free will which is an important factor in many religions
   • Based on reason not love therefore gorges against Jesus teaching
