savages) to fight their wars for them. The feeling towards the Venalians is not fond, and they cannot stand them. "They say, if only they could wipe the filthy scum off the face of the earth completely, they'd be doing the human race a very good turn" (More 113). They are judging and basically condemning these people as worthless and inferior. The Bible states in James 4:12, "There is only one Lawgiver and judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you, who are you to judge your neighbor?" This attitude is against the Bible. Even in John 3:17, Christ states, "For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him." Not only is this attitude an act of judgment or condemnation, but one that justifies killing someone, which is against the ten commandments. How could Christ accept this society when it is against the Bible? Even he knew that judging people and condemning people was wrong and he was the Son of God. How can the Utopians do it?Although Thomas More sought to devise a better society, it is absolutely not one that the "Saviour Christ" would endorse. It is almost as if More was under the impression that this society would return the world back to the Garden of Eden, free of sin. More seems to be suffering from a little case of self-righteousness in his book. For him to condemn the actions of King Henry VIII as against the Bible, yet be willing to support Utopia is bizzare to me. He died in defending the biblical principle that was against divorce. What makes him any different than Henry? What if he were king? Would he be martyring Henry in defense of his beliefs?...
