We do not want pedophiles to ask as if their action would form a universal law. Nor are we interested in someone like Napolean or Stalin being the source of our law. The Biblical version is generally assumed to mean we act in a way that models what we want done to us. But this would mean the world would be limited to perpetuating what sinful man can envision as desirable. But what if our actions were predicated on what others should be doing in what would be a utopia in our view? What kind of person would these people be, and therefore, what sort of person would this kind of Golden Rule turn us into?
