Movie writing prompt:

Would you rather live…in a world characterized by the movies theme: Rules stand in the way of compassion or a world characterized by biblical morality?
Personally, I would prefer to live in a world characterized by biblical morality. A world with standards from the Bible would be a world of order. It still wouldn't be a perfect world, but in my opinion, it would still be a lot more peaceful than a world with no rules, or in this case a naturalistic world. In a world without rules, anyone could literally do whatever they wanted. This includes murder, theft, sex, drugs, abortion, and so on, pretty much all of the things we look down upon in our present day society (mostly). It would definitely be chaotic, with no structural backbone to uphold society and its morals. Without morals and nothing technically illegal or wrong, but commonplace, everybody's consciences and moral compasses will be distorted. In a Naturalistic world, like the world we live in now, you could do anything that is socially acceptable, as long as it does not bother the people around you. People could think/believe that abortion is acceptable, or that sex is just a casual thing that you can do whenever you want.
Contrary to the prompt, I do not think that rules stand in the way of compassion. I actually believe that it is the opposite. Laws and rules in a society help and encourage people to show compassion, as well as keep order in society. This is especially prevalent with Biblical laws. In the Bible, we are commanded by Jesus to  "Love our neighbors", "Love our enemies", to care for the poor, and so on. In such a world or a strong society with rules and laws characterized by biblical morality, there is a backbone and a positive or negative consequence for every action. People will obey the laws not only because they are supported with clear cut consequences, but also because they will have a clear conscience. They also know the positive benefits at the end of the road waiting for them. As well as this, I have learned from my father countless times when he tells me to clean my room that God is a God of order, not of chaos.
