  Two wrongs don't make a right as they say
  
  Maybe not but the second wrong would prevent a third and end the cycle.
  
  I never suggested that the killings be governmentaly sanctioned.
  
  You obviously have a great capacity for forgiveness. I am unhindered by that handicap. Inhuman behavior deserves no human kindness.

  A second chance is one thing, but do you honestly think any of this flith gets caught after only one act?
  
  Until we place the appropriate value on our children and express that value by destroying any that would harm them, we are handicapping our own efforts.

  What's your take on morality?

  by Narkissos in

  as former jws we were part of a highly moralising religion.

  we have experienced the disastrous consequences of it in terms of hypocrisy, judgementalism or pathologic guilt.

  most of us have changed our "moral parameters" drastically, but how far have we gone in questioning morality itself?.

  Life is complicated because deviance, perversion and lawlessness demand acceptance and the weak minded of the world acquiesce.

  Morality should be a constant. If everyone held fast to the ideas expressed in the 10 commandments, what would be the harm? Whether they were written by man or God, adherance to their premises is a sure fire way to prevent undue strife in one's life.
  The problem is that holding a sense of personal morality brings ridicule from any who by their own deviance must lower the moral bar to explain away their actions.
  I am sickened by the current trend to apply an attitude of acceptance or understanding to all sorts of perversions and addictions. Shedding a cult mentality too often leads to abandoning all sense of morality. Freedom doesn't mean you can do whatever you like according to your won rules or morals. True morality benifits the greater segment of society. Selfish deviance is what has made the idea of morality a point of contention and argument.

  Sheila and I had an exorcist marathon this weekend. We rented all four of the movies. I found the newest of the series to be the best. It wasn't so much horror as intrigue and suspense. I found the overall theme of the movies to be faith lost and then found again.
  When I was a JW we were forbidden to see the Exorcist and stories of demon attack were espoused to scare us into submisssion.
  If you haven't seen them all, I recomend the original and the Exorcist the Beginning. Two and three were not very good.
