Well James, I don't see why not lying has anything to do with religion. The Bible must be full of lies ie what is written wasn't said or done! Surely it's just the golden rule of humanism - don't do to others etc
Where do you 'think' 'common sense' comes from? Western values of tolerance and help for the poor are not universally held. Go all over the world and sense won't seem quite so common.
By long term experience of what works best. That's why democracy takes s long to work in 'undeveloped' countries. They seem to have to the experience of anarchy before they find someone to lead them you to the right bath. With the help sometimes of people like yourself!

Where do you 'think' it comes from? How can anyone be sure whatever is written? It's just common sense!
