Do you or do you not agree with homosexuality being morally correct? Why?
I have to say, I'm struggling to understand this question.There is nothing with which to “agree” or disagree about homosexuality. It exists, whether you like it or not. I see nothing wrong with it, but that's just me, if you do see something wrong with it, you're entitled to believe that, just keep it to yourself.But not seeing anything wrong with homosexuality isn't the same as agreeing with it. I also accept the idea of toasters. I don't object to them. But I wouldn't say I “agree” with toasters. The term “agree” would make it sound like I believed homosexuality to be a good thing, the right way of living one's life. And I don't. I don't consider homosexuality to be a “good” or “bad” thing, I consider it to be a thing, a fact of life. I consider acceptance of homosexuality to be a good thing, but that's not what the question asks. To be honest, I think this question needs some editing, but that's really up to the original asker to decide. The question makes it sound like homosexuality is some kind of supernatural spirit, manipulating people to want to have intimate relations with members of their own sex.In short, I neither agree not disagree with homosexuality. I accept it, as I believe everyone else should too, because it exists, and it's not going to be changing any time soon.
Should I only judge people based on their moral, intellectual values, and behavior, or should I only judge people based on their sex, ancestry, and ethnicity, or a combination of both?
Personally, I would tell you the former, for the following reason: Morals, values (intellectual or otherwise), and behavior are variables that you can ostensibly control [1]. You can decide whether to be a good person or a bad person, by doing good things or bad things. You can decide whether to watch reruns of Masterpiece Theater on PBS, or illegally stream episodes of Honey Boo Boo [2]. You are a human being with free will and independent cognition; you are thus responsible for your own actions, and can be judged or treated on the basis of those values.On the other hand, people's gender, ancestry, or ethnicity are immutable from birth [3], and most people would consider it unfair to judge another person based on factors that are out of their control. [4] TL;DR: You should only be judged for what you can control, and not for what you can't.----[1]: In practice, your environment will have a huge impact on the kind of morals, values, and behavior you actually engage in, so it probably isn't right to say that anyone is ever 100% truly "independent"- especially during childhood and adolescence, where the human brain is biologically and socially less capable of critically evaluating outside inferences. However, no matter how authoritarian someone's childhood was, their morals, values, and behavior can change. The same cannot be said for ancestry or ethnicity, at least not without a time machine and an industrial-grade supply of time paradox remover.[2]: I realize that de gustibus non est disputandum, but this is one of the few TV shows I can think of where, if you were caught watching it illegally, the TV company should be legally obligated to pay you instead of the other way around.[3]: Well, this is not exactly true: see gender reassignment surgery. However, the costs and risks (financial, medical, and social) of this surgery do make it unrealistic for a majority of people.[4]: The deeper implication here being that gender, ancestry, and ethnicity are independent of your morals and values- i.e., being a certain gender or ethnicity should not mark you as a good or bad person on that basis alone. However, for better or worse, your gender, ancestry, and ethnicity will probably be strongly correlated with your cultural environment: see [1].
What is a moral obligation? 10 points?
I would define in need as any fellow human being who is in need of physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual help or support. Hungry people are in need, homeless people are in need, depressed people are in need, and grieving people are in need for example. Your moral obligation to help people means you have a duty as a human to do your best to assist other people in need. You must do whatever is reasonably possible to help this person. That's my take on it! Hope I helped!
The problem with subjective morality?
What if killing the baby would save the lives of 4 adults? Now what is moral? To allow the adults to die? Or allow the baby to die so 4 others can live and reproduce? What if allowing a train to hit a man but allowing 8 others to live on anoher track is presented to you? Now imagine that you actually have to push one very large man in front of the train to save those 8? This is where many people get thrown and have no simple answer. Just the very fact that there are differences in answers to this shows it it subjective. Sorry, but you don't have all the answers in every single situation about what is moral. Another easy poser is abortion. You really think the 55%-60% of americans who approve of abortion are immoral? EDIT You seem to have some idea that morality is written in the stars or something. The very fact that morality is about doing the right thing and educated adults can't agree on the answer shows you that it is subjective. It's just like "What is good art?" "What is the best movie ever made?" By definition, these things will be subjective. Just like morality.
Can u explain Quran 60:10 meaning?
translation Sahih International: O you who have believed, when the believing women come to you as emigrants, examine them. Allah is most knowing as to their faith. And if you know them to be believers, then do not return them to the disbelievers; they are not lawful [wives] for them, nor are they lawful [husbands] for them. *But give the disbelievers what they have spent.* And there is no blame upon you if you marry them when you have given them their due compensation. And hold not to marriage bonds with disbelieving women, but ask for what you have spent and let them ask for what they have spent. That is the judgement of Allah ; He judges between you. And Allah is Knowing and Wise. 60:11 what dose *But give the disbelievers what they have spent* means? who r the disbelievers mentioned here and r they the non muslim families of new muslim women ?
Why is abortion ok if you are raped?
I agree, i hate it when people claim to be "pro-life" and then say it's ok for whatever reason, if you say it's ok then that means you are pro-choice, you are just pro limited choice. I don't understand how someone can claim that they believe it's a baby and then say it's ok to kill it if you did not consent to conceiving it, that's the exact same thing as not planning to get pregnant when you choose to have sex and then getting pregnant. Also the opposite people, people who say it's not a baby, just a blob of tissue and then say it's wrong to have an abortion for certain reasons, annoy me too. I think that if a fetus is a human then under no circumstances should it be killed purposely and if it's not a human then any woman should be able to have an abortion for any reason whatsoever
What did Albert Einstein mean when he said: "Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid."
Hi, Albert Einstein understood that intelligence is a choice. For example, lets say you have an IQ of 100, you might argue that you are average and can not choose to be more intelligent. However, if that is your belief than you are already in the stage Einstein referred to at the end of the quote, "it will live its whole life believing it is stupid". A false believe has already been formed in your mind, most likely because too many times in your life you were judged, quantified and measured incorrectly. Everyone is genius, anyone can be as smart as Einstein. It takes the right mixture of passion, direction and focus but those are not genetic predispositions, they are environmental factors. I can go on for hours on this topic but i'll leave you with some food for thought. If you read the biographies of some of the most successful men in history you'll find a common theme, it was some person(usually a woman) who altered the course of their lives. In the case of Steve jobs it was a grade school teacher, she effected him so dramatically that he said if it wasn't for her he would have grown up a thief and ended up in jail. Really think about that, if it wasn't for the influence of one woman Steve Jobs would have done nothing with his life, computers as we know it, wouldn't exist, all his talent and genius would have died with him in some jail cell. Similar stories with Henry Ford and Warren Buffet who were hideously insecure men who's wives brought out their best. Most people simply never get the right nurturing based on their characters and they flounder through life. Einstein understood this and this quote was a testament to his humility.
