You know, this might be the most horrific and evil reply I've read on HN. You actually have the fucking nerve to call the murder and oppression of women and gays something that is only bad when you're 'biased'. How can a person's understanding of ethics become so warped as to actually believe that?
- erenyeager 5y agoI think you should review hacker news guidelines: > Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith. >Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something. And punishment for adultery and homosexual activity has been something staple across many religions and cultures, which have formed the basis of great civilizations. Adultery and homosexual activity have been social evils in many moral codes and ways of life. It’s not about oppressing women or gays, it’s about justice and fairness. Viewing things through such a narrow and dichotomous view makes you unable to cope with different ways of life except that you condemn it without understanding.
