It seems like everyone on here thinks right and wrong is an indivual thing. There are set right and wrongs that apply to everyone. If I mention marriage instead of shacking up , everyone says that living together works for some people instead of marriage and that I should respect other peoples morals. Well in some countries it is alright according to their moral code to mistreat wifes and women in general. In some countries it is acceptable and in their moral code to execute people who have done nothing really bad but because they have violated the country's moral code. We as Americans think it is terrible when people are treated so cruely and unfairly but I guess we must remember that in the middle east when a woman is raped, it is her faut according to the moral code of that country. What is wrong with following the basic morals set forth by God? It may be in someone's moral views to kill or harm someone of a different race, so much for making up your own right andwrong

Yes, god did give specific instructions to the way he wants us to live. But he also gave us the right to free will. This ability gives us the chance to make up our mind on what we would prefer. This, to some may seem as a mistake on gods side because now it seems that people have misuesd this privilage and are taking advantage. Its funny how North America fought for freedom from each other yet god gave us enouph freedom to last us a life time/you could say just enouph rope to hang ourselfs with. How much more free do we need to be. Our countries gave us the freedom of speach and for most actions and god gave us the freedom of choice. So really right and wrong is an individual thing despite what the laws of your country may say. God gave us the freedom of choice so therefor we make our own choices and if we are wrong then we alone will suffer the consequences. And it seems like people are willing to take that risk even though we're well aware of the actions that will follow immenetly with reprecutions and penalties well received. God doesn't make mistakes even though it may seem like it was a bad idea I know that he did it for a reason, and we may never know what that reason was until the day we meet our maker. Basicly, countries can make all the laws that they want but humans will always, in the end make our own decisions. So don't even try and figure this answer out on your own. Us humans are so cocky because we know that god will not strike us dead any more but just allow us to make our own decisions. The lord has his word, literally, wrighten in stone. He knows that we know that he knows that we know the difference between right and wrong. Hes laid out are choices in black and white making our paths as individualls very, very clear. Its just up to us to ingnore it or listen and live life gloriously-fruitfully

No, those who go by God's be conscious, do no longer fall on separate aspects of an difficulty....those who imagine gay rights, gay marriage, abortion etc....are issues that God would approve of, at the instantaneous are not Christians...we've distinct so said as Christians who've not in any respect cracked a bible...distinct human beings claiming to be Christians contained in the Presidential race have not a clue what God's be conscious says on those themes...they gained't get the conservative vote,,i am going to allow you to comprehend that...we comprehend a phony when we listen one...

all morals cannot be absolute over time and place but perhaps there are some basic rights and wrongs that do extend broadly.
I believe the UN has a basic set of human right. that they subscribe to that may apply here.
not that it is adhered to but at least it is a starting point for judgments when not
GITMO is immoral to me

There is no right and wrong applied to all...one size does NOT fit all. Like many things in life, it is according to personal responsibility.

all i ahve to say is, i've read a lot of your questions, and you need to be a little more open minded, only a small part of the world believes in "your god". what makes your religion more plausible then the other?
