There can be no absolutes when you deal with human beings. We have differing viewpoints based on personal experience, societal customs, outside influence, etc... Ad nauseum. The human being can not be simplified to fit any mold due to our inestimable reactions because of our own individuality.
To further impose that we have only one absolute truth in the shadow of all the religious beliefs of the world is a folly I would not attempt. There are many and all have their own validity when examined as that they are based on Faith and Belief.
ISTA - Internet Sacred Text Archive HomeBy what manner do we proclaim the total validity of one belief system than another? By what right do we proclaim that one moral truth works for all? Life in its many aspects depends upon your own circumstances at the time you are going through any specific event. No two people will react, speak, believe, think, contemplate or do the same thing another would because we are all individuals.
The questions themselves were simplistic and a simple answer is all that is needed. If my wife made ginger teriyaki chicken I would have a long hard thought about the t-bone I would generally prefer. She makes chicken much more palatable to me. But if its steak or chicken, well it’s a bloody, screaming raw steak every time no second thoughts.
Yellow over red, well I prefer red as an aesthetic pleasure compared to the basic yellow. Something personally about red is more pleasing to me although my wife vehemently disagrees with the firm opinion I don’t have an understanding the primary colors. (Even though I have a professional artistic background as she also does. Personal opinion at its best.) Again it is about the simple question and one should wait until the person posing the question indicates there is more than appears. They will then set the course based upon their own actions and allow us to see their true intentions as to the topic of discussion.
Abortion or Pro-Life? Well there are many reasons why I choose the Pro-Choice stance but the question did not ask why it only asked which position I would choose.
Sometimes a simple question should be taken for what it is and the rest left to the person/persons involved in the discussion and their following actions to truly determine their real motives. From that point on we can make our own presentations for our arguments against or corroborating evidence we would present in support of our position.
