Experience vs. Deity

If I understand this correctly, Positivism, is based off of experiences in which we have come upon. While Natural law Theory, is ones belief in a higher power. With this being said, we come to morals vs. laws. Like we discussed in class, some religions encourage drinking, however, our laws in the United States say different for those under 21. Just like in the Catholic Church, one receives the body (bread) and the blood (red wine) of Christ. It's silly to think that we are not drinking wine after one goes through their first holy communion. So what do we do here? Do we receive the blood of Christ with the fear of getting in trouble with the cops outside of the church? No, of course not. We will drink the wine because it's our belief, it may not be acceptable outside of the church, but our morals tell us that it is ok. Also in Rob’s post he talks about the speed limit. We see the speed limit and follow it for the fear of the repercussions; we don’t follow the speed because it’s morally right. Now if we were to get into a fatal car accident and hurt others, then we face some moral problems. Not being responsible, and caring for the other lives that were in our car, or others, that is where we find a problem. The deal here in which I believe, we need to have a mixture of the two, follow rules for our morals and higher beliefs. Also, follow other rules because things because we have seen and experienced.
