Well, it does seem that there is a great deal of "immorality" in our country, and indeed other countries, and even though many laws are based on moral principles, it comes down to how far the law wants to intrude into society. Should extra-marital affairs be outlawed, or the fine print on documents that no one reads and gets trapped later with. Perhaps morality can't be controlled, but we do try to legislate it through the laws.
In both instances for the good of society not that whatever is put in place will prevent bad/evil actions.
I'm not being disagreeable here Pepper, and please forgive if it sounds that way. I don't mean to be like a lawyer, but just clarifying the view. So victimizing another is sometimes right, if it's for a good or justified cause (Is that fair to say?).
there is no absolute...... some people depending on maybe religion or maybe family beliefs see things very differently and ONE SIZE has never fit all.. ( haha was writing this as c50 posted )
You're never disagreeable!!!!!
The first 2 are FAR more rare than in human society, and the last one is usually because they either are not viable, or starvation is a major issue. If the mother can't provide milk for her young, she doesn't make them suffer a slow death.
Sorry, I wasn't clear. But yes, I guess it was using the Biblical example of civilizations that were not Israelites often becoming victims by death, taking of the land, and or wives, that it is okay morally because it was ordained? Hope that make sense.
IF We rationalize (not exactly justify ) after crossing any moral view ...........we have or others may have that does not mean necessarily our morals changed it means we create a narrative for both us and others.
If you believe in god & god's will & word then what else is there? If you believe the Israelites were god's people, I repeat, what else is there to contemplate? You're arguing with what god wants?
Well, to be fair here, I live in the mountains, and I see does running from the bucks all the time during breeding season, but he pursues her and eventually has his way, and it is that way in many others species, so IMO, even though we may not think of it as rape because they are animals, it is still quite common. Just an observation, but your other points may be valid. I would have to do some research, but it's really not necessary. It's just a discussion.
Sometimes ya gotta wipe the slate clean
I wouldn't care to comment on that, as it's a matter of faith. Who am I to judge something that is beyond my knowledge and understanding. Nevertheless, I appreciate the comments.
That's why an appeals process was created.
After wiping the slate clean another try.
I have wondered about that, and truthfully, I don't know the answer. It seems like we do have an innate sense that we should treat others the way we want to be treated, and our morals kinda mirror that, but as you pointed out, in the end, we are still animals, and many behaviors reflect that.
