CMANN No I am saying that people having different philosophical views can't understand each other let alone agree. I don't know that much about sharia Law but I do know enough that it doesn suit my beliefs nor does Scientology.
The mores at the turn of the century celebrated women and had shown them great respect. For instance a man when leaving a room would never turn his back on a woman but exit backward. In that same vein virginity was worn with a badge of honor. Today virgins are laughed at. Let me qualifiy by stating that I do not deal in absoultes what I am referring here is the general view held at that time
The concept of good and evil as being discussed here is too absolute for a serious discussion with the exception of the Saddam, Hitlers bundy's of the world.
Another aspect to this discussion revolves around superstitions. I refute exorcism, voodoo, etc. as this type of behavior can be explained scientifically. Again i refer back to my first post wherein I speak of the need for the human race to view certain aspect of life as mysterious, mystical etc.
You can't explain why man was born so they make it up
You can explain or do not want to believe that life ends at death then make something up. Whatever age the "boogie man theory" effectively works
For me I have resolved those philosophical questions with "It is what it is" because no matter how learned a man is he is only giving you his opinion of what he has learned as of that date (speculation). Tommorow, the whole of his theory could change with new information. Clearly we have made some progress but.........
