Worse Problem Of Human Society Today?

No, the one where he got revenge was the Anger one... The seventh was Lust, but yes, you're right, I think it was Envy rather than Hate...

That movie ruled. The last one (in the movie) was Wrath or Revenge. And the worst problem of human society today is that lots of people spend their lives in jobs they hate to buy stuff they don't need.

I feel that the worst problem in this world is all of us not getting along with one another. "GIVE PEACE A CHANCE" as John Lennon once put it!

Oh so true Paramite person. But that will never happen. Humans have the whole pride thing still going on and with the Ku Klux Klan still around i doubt that ethnic peace will include anyone. And with overly religious fanatics still around homosexuals wont get any peace.

You know, I've actually never been able to understand why so many religions are anti-homosexual. I don't see logics behind it, at least not in this age. Maybe in the past it was asking for diseases or whatever, but if so, why can't people realise that some things just have changed? *sulk*

Maybe it really is because these things are so alien to people who are neither bi nor homo, hmm? I say, stick them (people matching previous definition aswell as being anti-homo like) into a body of the opposite gender for a week, then haul 'em back out, let's see what they have to say, then. *grins*

They'll probably have a nervous breakdown, though. *l*

Actually, seriously now. Can someone explain where the religious anti-homosexual thing came from in the different religions that are inclined like that? I really don't know.

I know why Christianity was anti-Homosexual, but I don't know about other religions. Come to think of it, I can't think of any other religions that are that Homophobic, really - what other ones are there?

Christianity declared itself Homophobic in order to oppose the Romans, as Homosexuality was (rightly) considered normal by the Romans. That's all. Homophobia was simply a political move to ensure that Christianity's supporters were thoroughly anti-Roman... That's why they made up all that shit about it being "immoral", "unnatural", etc. Then when they wrote the Bible, they put little hints of it in there, so that it became Official. Over the years, it became so much a part of Christian Doctrine that even after the Roman Empire became Christian, the rules against Homosexuality remained...

I really don't know off by heart, but the western religions we went through in philosophy (islam, christianity, judism, ... and I forgot the last one), seemed rather homophobic. I may be wrong yet again, but it lingers in my brain as such.
