so what kind of morality about which you are actually talking ?
The morality of men 300 years ago is not my morality. Do you think because one man lives in a country that he agrees with the choices of every countryman who came before? Are all Germans to blame for Hitler's atrocities? Try this moral code: http://americanhumanist.org/Humanism/Hu ... ifesto_III

You have a lot of learning and thinking to do, Jaya. Now go slap your mentor for filling your head with this rubbish.
If he knew how to put an insult together, instead of throwing butter cups at us,
:clap2:

you are nothing but street dog. because sleeping, eating, sex and fear is meant for them and as far as question of human life so it has got purpose which is to become freed birth after birth, old age, disease, and death.
____________

and if you are so much moralist then why do you kill child even now ? in your western civilization If everything is pleasure, then why you take the counteractive process ( in sex life ) ? Why do you want to kill child? Pleasure? Why do you take contraceptive method if it is pleasure?

and in spite of your so called morals your western civilization is still soul killing or suicidal civilization brainless dog.

ahem!
Bhagwad Gita 3:37

Lord Krishna said:— It is desire, it is anger, born of the mode of passion (Rajo-Guna), all devouring, most sinful; know this as the foe here (in this world).

Bhagwad Gita 2:63

From anger comes delusion, from delusion confusion of memory; from confusion of memory the destruction of discrimination (loss of reason); from destruction of discrimination the angry person perishes.

Bhagwad Gita 16:21

Triple is the gate of this hell, destructive of the Self—lust (desire), anger, and greed, therefore one should abandon these three.

`1st of all is this Bhagawad gita is written by the authority ( Srila Prabhupada ) ??

is that you have taken these verses from www.asitis.com ? answer is no these verses are from other source therefore we don't accept these verses because they are not authorative.

for example : Milk is very good food, everyone knows. But as soon as it is touched by the lips of a serpent, it is poison immediately. Therefore it is forbidden.

You're saying that because someone else quoted the passage, it has lost it's meaning?

He is right, you know. Your anger is obvious.

Dear god!

What if Jake the Snake Roberts showed up at a dairy farm when nobody was around, dumped the python into the milk batch, and stole off into the night with no-one the wiser?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Why are people bothering with mass shootings when all they've got to do is let a serpent touch milk to create a devestating, assured high death count attack?

Are you pushing your own short comings on us and safely hating them from a distance?

Is this the virtue of faith? To never change your mind: especially when you should?

Young Earth Creationists take offense at the idea that we have a common heritage with other animals. Why is being the descendant of a mud golem any better?

Ethical values are derived from human need and interest as tested by experience. Humanists ground values in human welfare shaped by human circumstances, interests, and concerns and extended to the global ecosystem and beyond. We are committed to treating each person as having inherent worth and dignity, and to making informed choices in a context of freedom consonant with responsibility.


Ethical values are derived from need and interest? What does this mean? It seems to reject an absolute wrong and right, and in fact the article mentions how its contents are subject to change... but beyond that I'm not sure what to make of it. It's one thing to say that stealing or killing is OK in certain situations but another to say that the operating principle itself is subject to change according to need or interest. If ethical values are derived from need then, to tie this in with another thread, it seems to me to be saying that might is right after all. But like I said, I'm just guessing at its meaning - and I'm pretty sure that's not it.

It does reject an absolute right and wrong, and wisely so in my opinion.

What is derived from need and interest is not derived on a whim. The rest of the manifesto sets the context. We need food, water, and shelter, and our interests are comfort, love, power and success(plus a few more). What the surrounding context means is that any otherwise negative interest (power) must work within the manifesto - work to benefit society and be concerned for the well-being of all. It definitely doesn't mean that might equals right, which is apparent in the later paragraphs.

If our moral systems were truly absolute, tied to something objective and unchanging over time, we'd still be stoning people to death outside the front gates for adultery. We'd still have slaves, and atheists would be shunned from society as evil. Even in religions where morality is supposedly absolute, it changes with the times.
