Ethics

Today I read an article in one of the biggest Swedish newspapers about morality.
Birgitta Forsman, a science theorist writes

"Liberate ethics from religion"

"Sometimes religiously based morality is build on false notions of reality and thus results in a quite unnecessary suffering"

"The Bible tells many stories that are as exciting and visceral as the Icelandic sagas. And like Hdvamdl contains many words of wisdom, so do the Ecclesiastes and Proverbs in the Bible. But there is nothing to build morale in our global world."

"In Catholic Poland, so-called family-friendly politicians have right now a strong support. These politicians would be better called misogynistic, because their agenda is primarily to ban abortion"

"marriage between ethics and religion has led and still leads to so much suffering."

"Ethics should be based on democracy, equality and free speech not religion"


Well, Biritta Forsman, it may be an interesting article but it is so wrong.

You talk about "so much suffering". In what way do you meen suffering?

Talking about stories from the Bible, yes, there are many great stories in the Bible. I'm so happy that you read them all.
Great stories about Love, reconciliation, hope, future.
Great stories about healing and great stories about strong women like Esther, The Samaritan woman who with the help of Jesus saved her people, and of cause about Maria.

Abortion, not an easy subject, but how can people talk about animal cruelty killing some "killer slug" but at the same people think it is OK with abortion, killing a human life!

Ethics based on democracy, equality and free speech, well that's what Christianity is all about!!!!!

Birgitta, I think you should read the bible, study the word and you will have a brand new world open for you.

Don't be so judgemental. Be different. Don't follow the steam..
