    Fair enough. I think a lot of the indigenous people from Africa have a lot of cultural traditions that would still be deemed immoral/unethical based on western culture/civilizations. For example, a lot of them oust an albino person from their tribe as they think that the albino person is the...

    Geez. suicide bombing is done by a religion, not by most religions, so I think there must be differential. Same could be said about Kamikaze. As for genital mutilation, I think you need to broaden your scope here. As genital mutilation is a very common act in african cultures which has...

    [COVID-19] General Discussion

    Yeah, we were outdoors the whole time, and we sat about a meter and a half away from each other. My house, my parents house and my brother's house are next to each other so we basically live together. We all knew the risks, and we've been following the same protocol ever since we had the first...

    [COVID-19] General Discussion

    We've had strict lockdowns, several of them, but our economy can't survive if we stay in strict lockdown. And even when we had the strict lockdowns, with a curfew of 22:00, we still had spikes in infections. People need to buy food, eat, go to banks etc.

    [COVID-19] General Discussion

    You guys did do a great job, and mostly because you had so few initial infections, that it was easier to contain in the beginning. But a third-world country like SA it's much harder, and when it was initially in SA, it spread like wildfire, and we've been playing catch-up ever since. But what...

    [COVID-19] General Discussion

    That avoidable part is the thing that is baffling me about how I got COVID. Me and my parents have been trying to rack our brains as to how we got it, and the only conclusion we could come up with is that my brother got it while playing at a golf day as he's the treasurer of the club. But none...

    Only my parents had the first jab of the Pfizer vaccine as they are over 60 years old. But they got the jab 3 days before they tested positive, so the jab didn't work yet as it needs about 10 to 15 days to kick in. The vaccinations are going slow and steady, I drive past the local public...

    What the Springbok team might look like for the B&I Lions tour (if it happens)

    I think the squad is a pretty decent squad, and based on what Nienaber as well as Rassie had to say about guys missing out, there are good reasons for their exclusion. They specifically mentioned Marcell Coetzee and Cornal Hendricks. Coetzee's omission in mostly due to his lack of substantial...

    So we all had the chills and body aches, and then from time to time we all had shortness of breath. My other symptoms were headaches, diarrhea, coughing and fever. My wife's symptoms were headaches, nausea, fever and redness of eyes. My brother's symptoms were nausea, loss of smell, nausea and...

    My mom is still getting oxygen, but she's getting better everyday. everyone else is fine since Monday. I'm still a bit fatigued, and the stomach aches are still a pain, but other than that I'm all good.

    So I just had COVID-19. Came out of self-isolation this morning. Myself, my wife, my dad, mom, brother and sister-in-law all tested positive last week Monday. Can honestly say, it's one of the worst experiences I've ever had.

    I think the wording is "a man may not lay with another man". So does that mean lesbianism is okay? If you say yes, then does that mean being gay as a sin is only applicable to men and not women? But what you are missing is that even though many things are deemed as sin or sinful acts, you can...

    Well don't tell Eve that.... She was the first person that struggled with a moral dilemma. Christianity isn't just about the Bible. And the Bible isn't everything about Christianity. Why would I have to discard something that plays a part in my faith? No christian is expected to know the...

    Yes, Greek and Roman Civilizations and philosophy also played a part in the development of moral code and ethics as well as laws. And in many instances there is a combination of religious fundamentals as well as greek and roman philosophy. I'm not denying the inclusion of any other...

    Rationalize which decision? To be christian? The Bible introduced the 10 commandments which includes thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal. The Bible was the start of Canon Law, which helped many countries to developed laws on what is right and what is wrong. Morality was started with the...

    Yet, the Bible is one of the things that is used the most in topics of Ethics and Morality. You have a problem with homophobia and slavery. So you then bash the whole book?? I guess you are then fine with Murder, Stealing, Raping????

    It's fine to challenge my beliefs, I'm not holding that against you, in fact, I'm not holding anything against you. Just because you want to challenge my faith, doesn't mean you would change my mind on what I believe in. You can go on your tirade for eternity, and still not change my faith.

    I believe every person is born with sin. It's what you do with your life that defines you, and inevitably be judged on... I'm also passionate about sexual, racial and gender equality. The mistake most people make, is to take everything in the Bible, literally. I'm also very much aware that I...
