Granted, but as it happens you have a massive brain aneurysm. (sp?)
I wish for my head to stop hurting.

Not a problem. You're welcome, always glad to explain myself when given the chance.Naw, that's not what I'm saying at all really. I'm saying that for every good person there has to be an equally bad person. In my own opinion, of course, that's why I think we all can't just settle on one simple religious belief and we have all the equally hateful for all the loving. Sort of a Yin and Yang sort of complex, with the whole world in the balance.Ah ok, thanks for explaining
Why can't we all just get along?This is mostly to the "Why can't we all just get along?" part... And to the whole idea of "the basis of most religion is being a good person" kinda fits too... It's because, what I'm starting to notice anyway, the world really does work in a sort of balance... So basically, for every "Mother Theresa" type you're going to have an equal and opposite reaction... So you'll get you a "Leather Face" or two to balance out the world... And on just a random note, why do I hardly ever see any of the "Religion" threads based around some of the "bad" religions? Are people really that scared to talk about it or is there really just a low number of people who follow them/know a decent bit about them on these forums? Or I could just be totally missing the ones all together.... Either way just a bit of a thought I felt like putting out there... Also just to throw it out there, I'm not saying any of the ways are the right or wrong one... Trying to avoid so much hate, that I usually tend to get, when I go on about religion for a minute with anyone, because of my... I guess strange is the world, outlook on the entire subject.
The problem lies what "a good person" means. In order to be a good person according to the Mormon faith, you have to be a missionary. Now suppose that in order for [insert population living where Mormons usually go to spread their faith] to be a good Hindu for example, they must not worship outside their religion/be converted.
Or for a simple example: Evangelic Lutheran-Christians (Just the split up name says a lot about division in religion) may think that in order to be a good person, one should embrace all God's children, wether they be women or gays or even unwed teenage couples. Now compare to the Christian movement in Uganda, who thinks that accepting/tolerating homosexuality is wrong and punishable in itself, while E L-C may think that it's wrong NOT to accept/tolerate it.
Had there been one objective truth in terms of what a good person is, this wouldn't be a problem.
