    Morality

    I think morality comes from what you saw as right and wrong as a child. If your primary role model(s) thought that stealing was bad, you most likely think that stealing is bad, even if you do it. If your primary role model(s) thought stealing was bad, except when they really, really wanted...

    Judas.

    He sold Jesus out to the Romans. He identified him with a kiss on the cheek for thirty pieces of silver.

    What would God do...

    hmm....Well if it's the same God that thought it would be fun to destroy a man just to win a bet with Satan, then I'm thinking he'd probably just let us all fry.

    The true problem with American Politics?

    Of course we vote for acting ability. The television turned all politicians into actors. Honestly I can't blame them for it. We're to blame. We'd rather have easy smiles with easy answers than honest communication about the problems our country faces. We don't like reality in general and like it...

    Your username

    I chose mine because Nikodemus means "victory of the people" which is something I relate to. Also Nicodemus comes to visit Jesus by night to get the word. In other words he cuts through the normal channels and goes straight to the source. My kinda guy.

    Please help me to understand.

    Thank you. I'll give it a read. Oh I understand that tolerance and acceptance are very different things. I would never expect someone who finds a behavior morally wrong to accept it. But I do expect those who preach tolerance to tolerate and turning your back is not tolerance. It's denial. I...

    I Need Help!

    Of course not. Quite frankly, I think rapists should be locked in that room for a long time and then castrated and then made to do the most degrading jobs on earth for the rest of their miserable lives. I am simply pointing out that Storm seems to see mutilation as an acceptable punishment...

    Please help me to understand.

    For those of you that are a part of a tolerant religion (which as far as I know, is just about all of them, at least by the claims I hear) how is the exclusion and persecution of any group acceptable? I am not trying to start a debate here. I'm really not. I want answers to this question. I...

    So you can justify mutilation for a crime, but not a physical act that causes primarily emotional and psychological pain. Might be something to think about in your rules for your religion.

    I Need Help!

    I find this very intriguing. I'm afraid I have no new questions for you or topics to cover, but I would like to point out a flaw in your logic so you can see this with as clear a perspective as possible. Twice you say you can find no justification for rape. You also say we should treat...

    Is Porn Inherently Degrading?

    Interesting thread. First to answer the OP, no, I don't think pornography is inherently degrading. I think that much of it is, but there actually is some porn out there that is about nothing at all but the sex. No plot, no talking, just two (or more) people having sex. I can't see how that is...

    Why did you choose the religion(or lack of one) you chose?

    Please forgive me if this question has been asked or if I'm in the wrong section. I looked over the sticky thread "Which Choice Best Describes..." and it doesn't seem to be concerned with why, just what. I would very much like to know why you chose your religion or your lack of one. Thanks.
