| Morality and culture is all relative. Being inside a certain culture makes some things more or less 'evil'. The examples you state are gross oversimplifications of what suburbanite tried to say. Besides a true 'black' area, there is a HUGE 'grey' area where different people will claim different things. And do you know the boundaries? I think the worst possible sin is to condemn other people to hell. The bible is a guide, maybe. But it is still 'only' a book, with stories ready for interpretation by anyone. Are you condemned because you eat cow-meat (Hinduism)? or pig-meat (Islam)? or because you have sex before marriage (Christianity/Islam)? or because you are gay? It's not as 'black & white' as any single religion will make it appear. |
