Haha,exactly my point Astreja,it is only wrong because the community says so,not because the Gods do,and as such no man has the right to say then that rape is morally wrong.Because it then rests on merely the opinions of one group over the other,of a group over an individual,yet morals are said to be personal in many instances
The best you can say is it is
held as wrong by the community,that
you believe it is wrong,that wont make it wrong to someone who thinks its right,it will just make it illegal !
And your right,a rapist would not last very long in a community where the residents all agree that its wrong,hence the reason why rapists often travel from town to town,from city to city,justifying what they do,because they do not know that they oppose the will of heaven
And this problem will stay with you all until divine authority rules,and your judges rule with it,and your citizens follow it. A potential nest of robbers and rapists and the vile shall be our inhabitions until then!

Glad to hear it,but be careful in how you tread,be careful that what you do does not help to cause you a disease,or an injury,or to be victimized or thrown in jail,because there are steps in life to be followed,disciplines which must be adhered to,everything in moderation,including those things which may harm your psyche

Words do exist, and they convey meaning to individuals and groups. While they're alive, that is. Once life is gone, so is the meaning
|
Yes they do exist,and are necessary,however,it is still too early for you to make a decision on what happens after life,live a little,grow old and see how you feel later,as you approach your death

Humanity" does not exist except as a concept. It's a superset of smaller groups such as one's own family. There is nothing magical about "humanity
|
Yet most of humanity especially children have a fixation with magic,with other worlds,with fairies and elfs and magical beings,with films and books involving magic - strange for such an intelligent creature dont you think ?

Then if one of your family,god forbid,are slaughtered by a self centered criminal after their riches,and who then takes off and is never caught,consider it normal,and do not complain,since to kill,and strive,and take amongst animals is normal
If you are married and someone better looking and richer comes along and flatters your beloved,and your beloved leaves you on the grounds that you just never had the money,the looks or social status,do not complain,for you have no right,as your beloved makes their decision based on their
animal instinct
