i do not understand what gives ppl rights to stone someone to
death just because of difference in beliefs and values...no
religion should ever have such "threats" to their believers if
there is faith in itself..i personally feel religion is a choice
and to TS, have faith in your own decisions. The road ahead of you
may be tough due to your family having strict religious believes
but i think you should live a life of no regrets, making decisions
and dont look back i'm a free thinker btw. Peace.
Well but if the religion's scripture says so, and you belong to
that religion, how are you to deny that? i.e. its your
insignificant sense of human morality VS the word of a frightening
God.
I believe violent and inhumane scriptures in religion should be
weeded out and censored, and religion should be modified and
upgraded to comply with modern-day ethics so that even those
literalists who want to do 100% what their religion tells them too
wouldn't have to bomb anybody by following their religion like
sheeps.
Come to think of it, should religious teachings be forced to be
compliant with international human-rights laws, and local laws, or
otherwise they'd be banned from their "religion" status? That
religious leades have the role to ensure that inhumane
teachings/scriptures should be openly denounced and detered to
their sheeps, instead of guiding them towards hatred.
