    Does culture and standards of the time affect morality?

    I agree with the gist of what you're trying to say, disregarding the specifics of the example you're bringing up as to whether or not they really happened, and with a few clarifications though. First, i think there should be two distinctions. One, judging an action itself, and two, determining...

    What will you take with you

    When i die, i don't expect to go anywhere or to do anything. As far as i can see, death is the end of my experience, as far as my perception goes.

    Which One do you think is more faithful and loyal ?

    Thanks for sharing personal experience. This doesn't answer my question though. Two things: 1) How do you determine the result of an examination you haven't conducted yourself? You only examined Islam, how can you determine what results you or others might have after examining other religions...

    Which One do you think is more faithful and loyal ?

    There are ways out of debates which are much more graceful. You said: And i replied with two points. One, stating that i'd be happy to hear what makes you think you have the authority, the basis, and most importantly, nearly the sufficient knowledge to make such a statement. Two, stating...

    Don't even think of making your kid walk home a mile to teach a lesson.

    Which One do you think is more faithful and loyal ?

    That would have been much more meaningful if you had actually understood what i said. You originally said in your first post: By reminding everyone that religions are about peace and love and concluding things from that, you're assuming that there actually is agreement that religions are...

    Which One do you think is more faithful and loyal ?

    Well mine was that not all people are religious in the first place. You seem to be missing that from what you consider quite a given. They're not religious for a reason. While someone may think their religion is peaceful and loving, their understanding of both it and of peace and love may not...

    Fatah-Hamas pact - good or bad? Is Netanyahu justified in suspending peace talks?

    Which One do you think is more faithful and loyal ?

    No relation between belief in god and loyalty to others, yeah. In my view. Whether or not all religions are about peace and love and whether or not belief in god is beneficial and brings out the best in people. I don't know how else to put it. May be if you rephrase the question.

    Simulation of how the Universe Changed over 13 Billion Years

    That's pretty cool.

    Which One do you think is more faithful and loyal ?

    That's called fear, or self-interest. Not loyalty. Again, self-interest. What you propose as a higher level of doing good is just increased motivation, and it doesn't relate to loyalty. People don't all actually agree with that, so it's not as obvious as you think.

    Which One do you think is more faithful and loyal ?

    Usually to answer a question i need relevant info. You've offered none relating to yours.

    25-Year-Old Woman Stoned to Death in Broad Daylight in Pakistan

    I've been trying to avoid this thread for the same reason. I don't know what to say about something like this.

    Openly Interested in Religion

    I've never felt awkward about the topic, and i discuss it pretty openly when it's appropriate and when i feel like it. The only problem for me which started early on was that the opinions i expressed were often not met with favor in my circle, and so rather than discuss more often than not...

    What sort of behavior do you consider unacceptable or wrong?

    Some jobs might put people at 'moral crossroads' or face them with difficult choices more often than others, but then that also provides a room for doing morally admirable things more often than most other jobs. I think it's really lazy when people assume an unwarranted moral high ground...

    I heard some rather interesting POVs on racism, sexism, and Feminism. Thoughts?

    I'm not sure since i don't live in a society in which such terms are used, but personally i don't think identifying either as a feminist or egalitarian/humanist dictates any of the things that criticisms aimed at those labels usually imply. That is, i don't consider a self-identified...

    What sort of behavior do you consider unacceptable or wrong?

    This is hard to answer as it's wide. Causing harm to others, reducing their happiness or ability to be happy, causing unnecessary harm and damage to other living organisms or to the environment, are things i'd consider wrong. Basically, things that hinder or make it impossible for other...

    Revenge vs. justice?

    Like pointed out it does depend in part on what definition is being used for justice since clearly not all people function under the same understanding of what justice means and entails. For me, both are separate, different concepts. But they do overlap a little in some cases. For the most...
