It is more a matter of being shameful than unfair, actually.

Propaganda from some misguided people aside, the Golden Rule is both more ancient, more sound and morally superior to the mafia blackmail tactics that some people swear to be the will of God.

Let's not waste any time with such poor propositions.

But I saw nothing to remove the 'Golden Rule'....
or it's consequences.

No-one claimed to have removed it, nor its consequences.
It's just that there is nothing religious about it.

Funny that.
Well, there's no accounting for common sense with some people. It's a well known side effect of religion.
