Eric50 Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Great NYT op-ed on elites and why they are becoming less virtuous. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/13/opinion/brooks-why-our-elites-stink.html
WarrenWatsa Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 There are religions out there that allow minors to be married, 4 wives to one man, a virtue act would be to kill those who do not believe the same religion. Or, in other words, a virtue only applies to those of the same religion, because those who do not follow it are not really "human", or worthy of our moral behavior. I don't know of any religion like that. If you're implicitly referring to Islam, you clearly don't know much about what it teaches. None of what you wrote is allowed in Islam [yes four wives are theoretically allowed for a man, but, only if certain conditions are met with regard to how much time and resources would be spent with (and given) to each wife]. If you're so gullible or arrogant as to believe that a religion such as the one you describe is in fact practiced by even a small part of the world's population, let alone a quarter of it, then you're either a complete fool or an utter bigot.
