Karen Armstrong: Let's revive the Golden Rule

The punishment must fit the crime. If a man causes disfigurement of his neighbor, as he has done, so shall it be done to him—fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he has caused disfigurement of a man, so shall it be done to him. (Leviticus 24:19-20) This sort of thing is called cruel and unusual by most people today. Ill grant you, it is unusual—nothing in western jurisprudence today is this logical, this sensible, this fair.

We habitually substitute anemic and pointless punishments for infractions of law, typically incarceration or fines, that have neither any direct bearing on the problem, nor deterrent value, nor redress for the injured party. I submit to you, however, that direct and equivalent response is anything but cruel. It is merely the logical, practical application of the golden rule.

haha... yeah, but maybe better results can perhaps be obtained, who knows?

Yes it does. Listen to the part when she talks about the earth needing this now or we wont have an earth to pass onto the next generation. There is absolutely no reason for this apocalyptic talk, except to invoke fear? Fear of the end of days, or death is the basis for all religion. "The end is nigh" unless mankind makes friends? Come on, is that any more true now than at anytime in the past 10000 years? The actual problem the human race faces is over-population, not war.

Pure science doesn't explain the entirety of the human experience; anybody who's felt deep emotion cannot put into a logical framework what exactly they've felt. That is what art attempts to accomplish.

Pure scientific reasoning is merely another dogmatic train of thought that fears change. Remember: "Blind respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth."
-Albert Einstein

Lack of understanding, or an inability to describe something, does not put something outside of the sphere of reason. Lightning was once in this domain. You are talking about gaps. No gap has ever been filled with something supernatural, so it is extremely unlikely (vanishingly so) that something supernatural will ever be the reason for anything. Saying science is a theology, demonstrates that you dont know what theology means, or you dont know what science is. Which is it?

There are gaps in Science, the gaps are referred to as 'supernatural' or 'paranormal', but they are in fact perfectly natural and normal. Science just dosen't know yet how to explain them.

science is still on the way of piecing out all reason behind our emotion infact they making a computer composing of many computer tosimulate how our brain works lol... better put your self into reasonable side rather than give blind faith towards religion or any dogmatic ideology

Na, she's preaching wisdom. Don't be so dogmatic about your way of thinking; pure science is itself just another theology.

Keep that in mind.

you've hit it kat!

... 'religion' has NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!!
