[zurück - retour - backback homereligion] The Golden Rule home La règle d'or - Die goldene Regel [caution Vorsicht]
bottomCaution: details
The demand to treat others as I want to be treated is dangerous.

Because if I would believe corporal punishment, the death penalty, or genital mutilation being rightful, for example, then the application of the Golden Rule in most major religions would allow me to apply these habits to others, even if they would object.

So in essence only the Golden Rule as formulated by Taoism, Sikhism, Unitarianism, and Native Spirituality offer universal respect for the wellbeing of others, including plants and animals. []

The Seven Deadly Sins

  1. Pride is excessive belief in one's own abilities, that interferes with the individual's recognition of the grace of God. It has been called the sin from which all others arise. Pride is also known as Vanity.
  2. Envy is the desire for others' traits, status, abilities, or situation.
  3. Gluttony is an inordinate desire to consume more than that which one requires.
  4. Lust is an inordinate craving for the pleasures of the body.
  5. Anger is manifested in the individual who spurns love and opts instead for fury. It is also known as Wrath.
  6. Greed is the desire for material wealth or gain, ignoring the realm of the spiritual. It is also called Avarice or Covetousness.
  7. Sloth is the avoidance of physical or spiritual work.
