Unless my senses are flawed then It is one of the primary things a person can go off. Again back to morality rather than genocide, wars or persecution. If I take my group of friends for example. They will be out taking drugs, banging girls right left and center, drinking too much, possibly having a punch up, and have no sense of family or community at all. To me most of their behaviour I would class as immoral.
Now if I take my brief encounter with the church people I met whilst one of my friends was involved with them, they did not engage in any of the above acts. They were waiting for marriage before sex. Their lives were heavily around the family unit, and around their christian community. When my friend was trying to rope me into it, the snapshot I got was something wholesome and even something I would like to join (if it were not for the religion aspect).
Your senses ARE flawed, and your perspective unbelievably skewed. You're basically an ultra-conservative. You belong right in with the super-Christians. You've shown how shallow your perception of what morality is with this post, and in the same breath given us all a dazzling insight into your priorities. You're not bothered about persecution, harassment and violence (not large scale violence, anyway. Your idiot mates getting in scraps outside a nightclub, maybe) despite the fact that these are inherently moral issues. No, what you want to see a stop to is sex, drugs and rock and roll, the REAL bane of society. The only real question is why you are 'friends' with people that you think are taking us down a moral sewer?
So now you've shown your colours, how about backing them up by answering me this: On what basis do you say that personal drug use including drinking and pre-marital sex are immoral acts?
Someone who can overlook genocide and centuries of cultural bullying because religious people don't fuck before they get married seems to me to need to reassess their perspective.
