Where Do I Start??

An action that maximises happiness will always be the right action. How far can a religious believer accept this view.

If your after a mark, then find the topic, and do the recomended reading. I can give you philo dudes who have written on the subject, or my own POV.

“How far can a religious believer accept this view” Is that part of the question, or your own hurdle?

i suppose happiness doesn’t always adhere to the religious commandments. i could be happy sleeping with ol’ mrs. morag next door, it’s not necessarily right though.

It does depend on what you include in your “maximum happiness” maths. Just you. you and ol’ mrs morang? all of humanity? for all time?

From a secular perspective, religious commandments are put in place for the benefit of the church community. Death to infidels, isn’t so good for the infidels. Also, just blindly following and commandment will one day go wrong.

Is the religious question yours or from the course? I’d be very surprised if it was from the course.
