various scriptures or religious beliefs to a person without taking into account extenuating circumstances etc?
For example, my fiance and I were both abused as children, my fiance's father even tried to kill him. Its not like we go around talking badly about our parents, we rarely mention them in a bad way. Yet one of our friends recently lectured us, admonishing us to honor our parents and deeply respect them, knowing full well what has happened to both of us and that this is a painful subject for us.
I understand that basic rules and principles are very important to some religious people, but don't they realise that a little sensitivity and compassion also go a long way?
Why do people force rules down others throats without stopping to consider the consequences?
