Christians used to torture and put people to death for speaking sacreligiously about God or sacred things. It's still a grave sin, from what I understand - and the bible clearly outlines how to deal with those who are accused of it. Death. Why has man seen fit to ignore this rule?

cultivating respect for womenhood will lead to declination of crimes like torturing for dowry,rape,prostitution etc.
what can we do to elevate the minds of men from those bizzare thoughts concentrated around genitals,those who think women as instruments to gratify desire , to eternity.

Kohlberg described 6 stages in moral development:

Level 1 (Pre-Conventional)
1. Obedience & punishment orientation (Do it or suffer)
2. Self-interest orientation (What's in it for me?)

Level 2 (Conventional)
3. Interpersonal accord & conformity (The good boy/good girl attitude)
4. Authority and social-order maintaining orientation (Law and order morality)

Level 3 (Post-Conventional)
5. Social contract orientation (Greatest good for the greatest number)
6. Universal ethical principles (Principled conscience)

When you consider the moral teachings of your particular faith, doctrine, or discipline, how do their teachings fit into the particular stages of moral development described by Dr. Kohlberg?

"Ye have heard it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, Do not resist an evil person: but whosoever smites thee on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if any man will sues and takes away your coat, give him your cloak also. You have heard it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? Be ye therefore perfect as your father in heaven is perfect." -Mathew 5

Your thoughts?

...the fact that Y!A is a breeding ground for people to attempt to confirm their opinions without any basis on fact. I get riled up because this perpetuates myths that have been disproven years ago. I know that it's just Y!A and things can't be taken too seriously. But when people can choose best answers for reasons other than the fact that they _are_ the best answer it creates a scary situation in my opinion.

Yes this question of mine was brought on by a particular question that has been asked in the LGBT section multiple times. To me it's one of the more serious myths that really needs to go away.

I'm looking for other people's views on this scenario of picking bad answers that happens in Y!A every day. Is it that big a deal or not? Are there any effective ways to address this? Are there times when it should be allowed to let slide but other times when it shouldn't? Any thoughts on it would be appreciated. Even if it's to tell me I'm overreacting. :)

Our word "demon" comes from the Greek word "DAIMON". Daimons were not necessarily evil.

"For Greeks and Romans, daemons ('replete with knowledge', 'divine power', 'fate' or 'god') were not necessarily evil. Socrates claimed to have a daimonion, a small daemon, that warned him against mistakes but never told him what to do or coerced him into following it. He claimed that his daimon exhibited greater accuracy than any of the forms of divination practised at the time. The Hellenistic Greeks divided daemons into good and evil categories: eudaemons (also called kalodaemons) and kakodaemons, respectively. Eudaemons resembled the Abrahamic idea of the guardian angel; they watched over mortals to help keep them out of trouble. (Thus eudaemonia, originally the state of having a eudaemon, came to mean 'well-being' or 'happiness'.) '

having a "disease". I have trouble seeing it in that way. To me a disease is something that you don't bring on yourself, like cancer, or diabetes. They are addictions, yes, but not diseases. Your opinions?

...of black ice in the road and she lost control and died at the scene of the accident. While watching the news that evening, I learned of her terrible tragedy and also learned how great of a person she was. She had just gotten her license to practice law...just passed the Bar Exam. She was very talented in that she played the piano and flute. Her family said she was beautiful inside and out. She was a really pretty girl and she looked like she was a good person, going by her picture. She had what everyone thought was a bright future ahead and so much going for her and her family said she was a good girl. Now...WHY does someone like that get taken away and others are left behind that are so mean and have no life...or a total disregard for life because they do drugs, sell drugs, have totaled three cars in five weeks time, only to gain a few bruises and scratches...whereas this fine young lady's life was taken and this makes no sense to me, and YOU ???
