These precepts are only logical to us because we percieve them as logical. No logic made these precept they just came into being through action and reaction. Even the bible doesn't say god made the universe because he thought it was the logical thing to do. He just said let it exist. Probably because he just felt like doing it. As a matter of fact some logic is considered forbidden in Genesis. Logic has little to do with being right. It's just a way of organizing information to suite your needs. The Natzis used logic to convince people the killing Jews was a good thing. Was that right? Depends on your point of view. Logic is a human function not some mystical force that governs the universe. Over time we have learned to hone our grasp of reality enough that our logic tends to stay consistant with the ways of the universe. Yet this conversation is proof that we still have a long way to go.
