Why Cheat? Because everyone else does.

That was the reason former Melbourne Storm chief executive Brian Waldron gave the club's chairman Dr Rob Moodie when questioned about why he had orchestrated the blatant salary cap cheating that has cost the club two premierships. (SMH 23/04/10)

Raises the question of: Where do people get their ethics of decision making.

For Brian Waldron its "follow the herd."

Everyone else is doing it (ie. cheating) ... so why shouldn't I? This works well for issues which are seemingly innocuous eg. downloading music off the web. But doesn't sound as plausable when speaking to your teenage son or daughter about why they follow their peers in taking heavy drugs at a party. Or if you're a shopkeeper being looted during a power outage. ie. Just because "Everyone else is doing it" doesn't make it right.

So a good question to gently ask people when discussing the Storm scandal is: Where do you get your sense of right and wrong from?

For Christian's, we believe in a God who made the world and us ....and has lovingly given us guidance for life and human relationships ... in the Bible. Christians don't follow the herd they follow God's good word. Don't want to follow God's way? .... then who do you follow?
