Financial Solutions - your path to financial freedom!

How can anyone possibly be moral without believing in God?

Frequently Asked Questions
Pretty much the same way that anyone else can be moral: by considering their actions, weighing the consequences, and deciding whether they are doing more harm than good to themselves and other people. Despite what evangelists tell you, the threat of hell is not what stops most people from, say, going on a mass-murdering spree. Even if there was no hell, there are still bad consequences for bad behavior. Our society has laws that threaten criminals with fines, imprisonment and sometimes death.

He has no time for those who would use Chaos as a weapon (he sees no sense in trying to fight fire with fire). He holds varying views towards Xenos races, be it distrust of the Eldar, hatred of Tyranids and Dark Eldar and an unhealthy curiosity in the Tau race.

What Are Moral Values?

World Prout Assembly: April 2005 Archives
Reading his words, one realizes that real morality is something common to all people of all religions. There is no differentiation between the morality in one religion or nation and another religion or nation. Deep morality knows no distinctions, no barriers between one person and another. Deep morality everywhere will feel the outrage and pain of the suffering of other human beings, whoever they are, whatever language they speak. As the good Rev.

Do your books have a moral?

Louis Sachar — Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, in the sense of thinking about right and wrong. But mainly my books are written to make reading enjoyable. That's my first goal with all my books, to make reading fun. I want kids to think that reading can be just as much fun, or more so, than TV or video games or whatever else they do. I think any other kind of message or moral that I might teach is secondary to first just enjoying the book. But, I don't mean to say that fun is necessarily frivolous.

Why the "moral outrage"?

Moral Outrage - Frequently Asked Questions
It is outrageous to consider that statutory rape is the only felony crime a teen can willingly take part in with an older person but suffer no legal repercussions. When two teenagers engage in consensual sex they are not considered "victims" so how is it logical that when a teen knowingly consents to sex with an adult (and typically by lying about his/her age) that they are viewed as "victims" by the legal system? Consenting teens are not victims, period.

Q 14. How can the observation of breath assist in practising the moral precepts (sila)?

Questions on Anapana
Ans. This is indeed a good question. If the observation of breath does not help us to preserve morality and establish ourselves in Dhamma, then it is a futile exercise. This technique will be very beneficial in living a good life. If we continue to observe the natural flow of respiration, we will find that it helps us to gain control over our mind. Our mind will not be as weak and restless as before. Its ability to concentrate will improve.
